Abstract

Six studies that randomized patients to drugs versus placebo and also made complaint/noncompliant determinations were reviewed to document the main effects of compliance on health outcome. While the studies varied in terms of demonstrating a main effect of drugs, in five of six cases a main statistical effect of compliance was observed. Possible mechanisms for this effect are briefly noted.
