Brief Summary

Specific Aims: To delve into the complex phenomena of living with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), and to investigate the patients' perspective of the factors that affects their decisions regarding management of their PAD. a) Utilize a qualitative approach to uncover factors that patients perceive support the management of their condition utilizing a purposive sampling of Peripheral Arterial Disease patients.

1. 1.To determine what they believe to be effective tools to support themselves to improve their condition.
2. 2.To determine from the patient's perspective if adherence to prescribed medical regimes are important for them to improve their PAD outcomes.
3. 3.To describe the patient factors of those who are self reported adherent compared to those who are not or unable to their prescribed regimen.
