Session presented on Saturday, July 26, 2014:

Purpose: This is the second of a three part series on Medication Adherence in which the authors describe the continuum of adherence to non-adherence of medication usage.

Methods: Research articles through Medline and PubMed.

Results: The research review showed medication adherence and non-adherence can be categorized according to the following: patient demographic characteristics, patient psychological and behavioral characteristics, social factors, disease related factors, financial and other health system factors, patient-provider relationships, and treatment related factors.
