Adherence-improvement strategies should be matched to the specific barrier identified - regimen simplification (reduced dosing frequency, combination products) for complexity-related non-adherence, practical aids (dose administration aids, reminders) for unintentional non-adherence, and shared decision-making/motivational approaches for concern/belief-driven intentional non-adherence
