“…While many investigators have identified a multitude of reasons for noncompliance with medical advice, particularly medication, relatively little progress has actually been made in addressing and overcoming these problems (Myers, 1999;Langman et al, 2001). The strategies discussed here can be adapted for other chronic illnesses requiring long-term compliance with medication.…”
