This new book summarizes the adherence literature for a number of
specific health behaviors and populations. It provides a
comprehensive source on the conceptualization, interventions, and
measurement of treatment adherence and a synthesis of the research
across demographic and chronic diseases. The text presents problems
associated with treatment adherence; theoretical models that have
commonly been used to understand, predict, and/or improve
adherence; adherence with specific behaviors including exercise,
diet, rehabilitation, medication, and psychological therapies; and
strategies in enhancing adherence. Because chronic diseases involve
similar behaviors, the handbook is organized by specific behaviors
and special populations, and not by disease. Every chapter is
sub-organized by specific diseases to ensure easy access for the
readers and features a discussion of adherence across demographic
and chronic conditions, a review of previous interventions directed
at the particular behavior or population, questions and scoring
algorithms for widely used measures of treatment adherence, a
discussion of the clinical research, and where appropriate, policy
implications. Patient Treatment Adherence addresses: practical
recommendations to improve adherence; the impact of non-adherence
including costs and health-related quality of life; methodological
issues such as assessing cost-effectiveness; and the use of
technological advances to improve adherence. Intended for health
service professionals, health, clinical, social, and cognitive
psychologists, primary care physicians, pharmacists, and
policy-makers, this text is also an excellent resource for graduate
courses on health psychology and public health.
