“…At least one in five adult patients drop out of psychotherapy and this rate can be substantially higher in some settings [11]. Although various patient, therapeutic, and social characteristics have been associated with increased risk of patient non-attendance and dropout, research is in large part still inconclusive and sometimes even conflicting, particularly with regards to patient characteristics [12,4]. For example age has been associated with non-attendance in some studies [e.g., 13] but not others DEVELOPMENT OF THE TAP 5 [e.g., 14], as has gender and level of education among others variables [e.g., 12,14,13,15].…”

“…According to the TPB, psychological treatment participation can be encouraged by exploring patient beliefs about subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control, in addition to improving attitudes towards treatment [4]. However, research into the utility of the TPB in mental health settings has been hampered by the absence of an empirically validated tool that can be used by clinicians to understand patient attendance guided by the TPB.…”

“…Despite this evidence that e-mental health services can be effective, there has been relatively little examination of how well consumers engage with these services (Hordern, Georgiou, Whetton, & Progmet, 2011). Client engagement forms part of the broader concept of adherence to the therapeutic process (Clough & Casey, 2011). Two key issues in client engagement associated with e-mental health services are the rates of uptake (i.e., clients entering the service) and dropout (i.e., people ceasing the service).…”

“…Adherence to treatment is a complex issue that has generated a great deal of attention and has been highlighted as one of the most serious problems facing medical practice [1,2]. The consequences of non-adherence are considerable; it can affect the effectiveness and outcome of treatment, increase the amount of time spent with health care professionals and increase the financial cost of health care [3].…”
