Policymakers, malaria program managers, and implementing and funding agencies should focus on this lag between RDT availability, initial provider uptake, and the rate of adherence to RDT results when they are used.
Other plausible explanations include malnutrition, lack of adherence to anti-TB therapy and/or the intermittent availability of drugs.
In different circumstances, the focus will be on different system properties, e.g., availability, real-time response, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, and prevention of deliberate intrusions, as well as different levels of adherence to such properties.
Association of adherence to epilepsy quality standards with seizure control.
Drawing extensively from existing research, this comprehensive review conceptualizes several types of psychosocial and behavioral treatment adherence, examines predictors of adherence to psychosocial treatment, summarizes measures of adherence, and describes existing interventions to enhance psychosocial treatment adherence.
Despite much effort to design and evaluate adherence interventions, rates of adherence to cardiovascular-related medications have remained relatively stagnant.
Integrated patient care, community based adherence support programs, active outreach to patients, the availability of adherence support services as well as facility and community based patient adherence groups on ART have been found to lead to lower rates of LTFU [ 12, 14– 19, 19, 20].
Availability of adherence information assists health care workers in providing optimal care to patients.
Finally, our results should be interpreted cautiously since we lacked complementary data to describe health facilities (e.g. staff training), as illustrated by the low percentage of variance explained at the site-level in multilevel analysis, or programs (e.g. availability of adherence support services).
