Research indicates that HCV treatment outcomes for PWID are comparable to those for other patients in terms of adherence to treatment, completion of the full treatment course and attainment of a sustained viral response (SVR) [ 15, 16].
However, the panel underlined the importance of designing flexible interventions that are tailored to respond to the local context and needs of the population to ensure acceptable initiation of, adherence to and completion of LTBI treatment as part of the public health approach.
For instance, it has been proposed to use three variables to assess adherence: the completion of tasks assigned during treatment, the number of completed treatment sessions, and the extent of coping with withdrawal symptoms [ 22].

To ascertain adherence and completion of PEP among staff at a regional referral hospital in W. Kenya.
Evidence supported superior adherence and completion of rehabilitation by home based users.
After completion of the sixth cycle, daily adherence of six of eight (75.0%, CI 46.0% to 91.3%) initially non-adherent patients accounted for ≥90%.
Our indications that strength of preference could predict adherence and completion of treatment are similar to the results presented by Raue et al. [ 13].
Several aspects were taken into consideration in the development of PACE-AL to assure safety and tolerability, adherence and completion of study requirements.
In addition, longer-term adherence, after completion of acute training programs, is key to ensuring ongoing health benefits, yet few data have been published examining longer-term follow-up adherence with any exercise delivery model.
