Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Therapeutic adherence

    Description : score difference at baseline and 6 months of the " Necessity " and " Concerns " subscales of BMQ-Specific (Beliefs about medicines questionnaire) compared between control and intervention groups. A score, between 5 and 25, is calculated for each subscale by making a sum of the answers. Next, score difference between Necessity and Concerns (NCF) is calculated. NCF varies between -20 and +20. Value above 0 means that perceived treatment necessity exceeds treatment associated concerns. The more NCF comes close to +20, the better is the treatment risk/benefit balance.
