Chronically ill adults who reported food insecurity in their household (not having consistent access to food due to lack of financial stability) were significantly more likely to report cost-related medication underuse, according to a new study. The term cost-related medication underuse refers to taking less medication than prescribed or not taking it at all due to financial concerns.
