Abstract
Medication nonadherence is a prevalent public health problem that compromises patients’ health outcomes and increases healthcare expenditures.1 Studies in Singapore showed that 25.7%–38.9% of patients are nonadherent.2,3 Studies investigating the association between patients’ reasons for nonadherence and their preferences towards adherence enablers are limited. We aimed to (1) examine the prevalence and reasons of medication nonadherence among patients with different clinical conditions and settings and (2) investigate possible associations with their preferred intervention for improving adherence.
