Comparison of different compliance behaviors in a clinical trial

Jennifer Krejci-Manwaring et al. Cutis. 2007 May.

Abstract

Demographics, regimen complexity, patient attitude, disease severity, and psychology determine a patient's adherence (ie, compliance) behavior. In a study of 30 patients with moderate to severe hand dermatitis, we found 2 extremes of adherence behavior: overusage and underusage. We compared these 2 patients to one patient who engaged in near-ideal usage of medication.
