OBJECTIVES: To compare the satisfaction with and access to pharmacy services between two diabetic patient populations receiving dialysis, one in urban Philadelphia (PHL), and the other in suburban New Jersey (NJ).

Survey measures included demographics, pill burden and patients’ opinions of their pharmacy care. Responses were analyzed for the whole sample and by site, and sites were compared using t-tests and chi-square tests. RESULTS:
