Accurate capture of medication use is important for high quality research. For epidemiologic studies, medication histories are the most common measure of exposure when trying to identify associations between medications and outcomes. Concomitant medications can alter the efficacy or safety of study drugs in clinical trials. However, there are few studies evaluating the accuracy and efficiency of methods to collect these histories. The objective of this study is to compare the accuracy of medication histories collected by structured interview to histories captured using a tablet‐based application.
