Identification of Medication Adherence Barriers intervention

The Identification of Medication Adherence Barriers Questionnaire intervention (IMAB-Qi) research programme is a one year programme to develop a trial to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a primary care medication adherence intervention.
Development of the IMAB-Q
The intervention in the IMAB-Qi study will involve using the Identification of Medication Adherence Barriers Questionnaire (IMAB-Q) to support practitioners and patients to work together to address medication non-adherence.
The IMAB-Q was developed through a review of the literature, mapping individual barriers to the Theoretical Domains Framework and focus groups with people prescribed medication to get a better understanding of the barriers to medication adherence.
