Abstract: Behavioral medicine research often employs methods wherein interventions are developed to address behaviors that occur outside of the clinical setting, requiring the client or caregiver to comply with and implement strategies to change their own behavior or the behavior of another. The degree to which caregivers or clients adhere to the treatment will affect outcomes. However, in many situations, treatment adherence may decline over time, or may be low, due to a variety of factors. The purpose of the current panel is to discuss common challenges that affect treatment adherence in behavioral medicine research, and to offer suggestions to improve adherence.
