Key facts
However, non-adherence to prescription reduces the benefit of treatment leading to poor prognosis. Although there are several interventions that aim to improve medication adherence, most interventions do not render expected outcomes. Having informal care support is associated with increased medical adherence, but it is noted that medical adherence interventions rarely equip informal caregivers with skills to support care recipients effectively.
