Optimizing Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy
Summary
- Demographic characteristics are not consistently predictive of adherence, but social situational factors may create barriers to medication access and adherence[Krüsi 2010; Protopopescu 2009; Reif 2006; Royal 2009; Kagee 2010; Kalichman 2010]
- Family, peers, and other social resources offering regular support may facilitate adherence[Gonzalez 2004]
- Better adherence is associated with a consistent and convenient source of quality healthcare services and access to medications (Management Guidelines)[Thompson 2012]
