Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Data will be used to design a definitive trial which will test the hypothesis that the intervention will improve medication adherence, as measured through an increase in treatment completion rates, and result in higher self-reported medication adherence, fewer missed appointments and doses, and a shorter course of treatment.
