TL;DR
Results suggested that rates of adherence varied by treatment component and across measurement methods, however, when examining more objective measures, rates of overall adherence were below 50% for children with CF, indicating generally poor adherence to the treatment regimen.
Abstract
The multi-method measurement approach provided unique information regarding rates of adherence for each disease condition by type of treatment component. Accurately measuring rates of treatment adherence for children with CF is an important step in developing effective interventions to influence these behaviors.
