You may qualify if…
- Clinical diagnosis of bipolar disorder (BPD) Type I or Type II, as determined by a standardized diagnostic interview, the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI)
- Demonstrated history of poor medication adherence, as determined by self-report or clinician report. In this study, self-reported treatment nonadherence will be identified with the Tablet Routines Questionnaire (TRQ). Poorly adherent individuals will be defined as those who miss 30% or more of medication within either the past week or past month (those missing 30% or more within past week will be considered to be nonadherent over the past month). Clinician-assessed nonadherence will be identified via a clinician version of the TRQ to identify nonadherence of 30% or more over the past 30 days.
- BPD of at least 2 years' duration
- Treatment with medication to stabilize mood for at least 6 months
