      abstract = {Methamphetamine-Associated Heart Failure (MethHF) is a  serious complication of methamphetamine use (MU) that is  associated with more hospitalizations and greater morbidity  and mortality than non-methamphetamine related heart  failure (non-MethHF). Currently, regular adherence to  guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for heart failure  can lead to the reversal of heart failure, even when  complete abstinence of methamphetamine is not maintained.  However, adhering to GDMT is challenging for patients with  MethHF since they experience comorbidities including  housing and financial instability, co-occurring mental  illness, and reduced social support among others. This  quality improvement project utilized the Model for  Improvement framework to evaluate patient perceptions of  barriers to medication adherence in those with MethHF at a  heart failure clinic in the Portland metro area.},
