- Develop non-adherence and concordance further: Explain intentional and unintentional non-adherence to medication-taking. Explain the challenges in achieving concordance.
- Provide an example of a particular disease where adherence to medication is not good (use journal articles). Present some data/stats. [E.g. non-adherence with diabetes medication is 50%]. Identify factors for non-adherence for your chosen disease, and reflect on the concepts presented before (section b): which factors are intentional/non-intentional?; to which extent is concordance achievable?
- Conclusion: answer the question in relation to your chosen disease: summarize key aspects analyzed.
