Abstract

While large databases are excellent tools for studying patterns of adherence in large populations, and electronic monitoring gives valuable data in clinical trials, different methods are needed to ascertain patients’ adherence behavior in the clinical setting. Electronic monitors are too expensive (generally US$100–150) for everyday clinical use, and many patients would not consent to be electronically monitored. Therefore, clinicians need to be conscious of how to question patients to get useful data on adherence patterns [1].
