By Aslani, Parisa, Koo, Michelle and Young, Henry N.

Although it can be difficult, assisting patients in using their drugs safely and effectively is an essential part of professional practice.

The body of published research on adherence is enormous and is always expanding.

It is not possible, nor always beneficial, to provide a detailed summary of all the literature.

Rather, the goal of this book is to give all medical practitioners a quick and easy-to-use reference on drug adherence.

Crucially, the book concentrates on useful knowledge that may guide and be used in regular clinical practice.
