Abstract
Adherence to a medication regimen is often critical for chronic disease management. Unfortunately, it is well-documented that at least half of patients are nonadherent, resulting in uncontrolled illness. Barriers to adherence are complex. This research study describes development and testing of an instrument to detect patient's barriers to adherence.
