Abstract

M edication nonadherence among patients with psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression, is a major barrier to favorable treatment outcomes.Suboptimal adherence to psychotropic medications for these disorders has been associated with relapse, significantly more psychiatric hospitalizations and emergency room visits, poorer mental functioning, lower life satisfaction, more disability-related absences from work, greater substance use, increased suicidal behavior, poorer adherence to medications for comorbid medical conditions, and higher health care costs (1-16).Unfortunately, nonadherence to antipsychotics, antidepressants, and mood stabilizers is common; previous literature reviews have noted rates ranging from 10% to 77%, with mean rates of 35%-60% (17-20).Previous studies have established risk factors for nonadherence, including limited insight, a negative attitude or subjective response toward medication, a shorter duration of illness, comorbid substance abuse, a poor therapeutic alliance, living alone, more self-reported side effects, and limited family support (18-20).However, many previous studies were significantly limited because they were conducted with predominantly Euro-American populations.Ethnic and racial disparities in adherence have been noted; nonwhite patients have been found to be more likely to have lower adherence (3,21-23).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
