The adherence item on the SCAP-HQ, a health questionnaire developed and validated for the SCAP study [ 23], was used.
Fifteen COPERS components were used to measure inter-rater reliability; they comprised 95 adherence item scores, 71 competence item scores and 15 overall impression scores.
Intrarater reliability was measured using assessments from 16 COPERS components comprising 94 adherence item scores, 64 competence item scores and 16 overall impression scores.
In particular for randomised trials, it is widely recommended that all participants be included in an intention to treat analysis, regardless of adherence (Item 20c).
The Summary of Diabetes Self Care Activities SDSCAA) (23) scale was also administered, including a single medication adherence item: How many days in the most recent week were diabetes pills taken as prescribed ?
Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) model 1 (ICC(1, n ); see Shrout & Fleiss, 1979) were computed to analyze the inter-rater reliabilities for all items in the competence (CTCS-SP) scale as well as the adherence item and patient difficulty.
In addition, physicians rated two global adherence items (i.e., "Overall, this youth adheres well to the prescribed regimen" and "Overall, this child is capable of adhering to a complex regimen") responding on a scale from 1 = strongly disagree to 5== strongly agree (with 3 = neutral) to each item.
Item responses for the three adherence items were linearly transformed to a 0 100 scale [ 26, 27].
The number of adherence items varied between the different course components (table 2).
Studies reporting questionnaires including items not related to medication adherence (unless medication adherence items form a separate subscale).
Intrarater reliability was 91% for adherence items, 75.7% for competence items and 69% for overall impression scores.
