ADHERENCE REPORTS

Adherence is such an important issue that Medicines in Mental Health has produced two special reports. They are free to download.

  • Estimates of poor adherence
  • Impact of poor adherence on outcomes
  • Cost consequences of poor adherence
  • Factors that are known to influence adherence

Report No. 2 contains a four point plan for improving adherence in schizophrenia. 
  • Developing patient-centred information
