Rapoff M. 1997. Prevention of Medication Compliance Problems in Children with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis: [Final report]. Kansas City, KS: University of Kansas, 26 pp.

Annotation: This study was a randomized, two-group trial of a program to strengthen compliance with medication regimes among children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The experimental prevention component includes: 1) written and videotaped educational materials aimed specifically at preventing and managing compliance problems; 2) instruction by a nurse practitioner in behavioral strategies for improving compliance; and 3) followup telephone contacts in which these strategies are reinstated. Both the literature and previous research by this research team suggests that a combination of educational and behavioral management strategies can be effective at improving compliance in patients who previously had been noncompliant.
