Completed

Conditions studied: Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective

In brief

The purpose of this study is to prospectively examine adherence to oral atypical antipsychotics in patients with schizophrenia. We are psrticularly interested in examining the level of agreement among self-report, physician impressions and objective measures of adherence. We believe that physicians, casemanagers, and clients significantly overestimate the level of adherence.
