Identifying Youth Nonadherence in Clinical Settings: Data-based Recommendations for Children and Adolescents with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Abstract

The current findings provide evidence that clinicians who work with children and adolescents with IBD may benefit from modifying their approach to nonadherence screening. Asking about youth involvement in remembering daily medications may be more informative than asking them to recall their medication-taking behavior over the last week in identifying those at highest risk for nonadherence.
