Assessing medication adherence using Stata

Ariel Linden

Stata Journal, 2019, vol. 19, issue 4, 820-831

Abstract: In this article, I introduce the medadhere command, which computes medication adherence rates for two commonly used measures in research and practice: the medication possession ratio and the proportion of days covered. medadhere computes adherence rates for a single medication or multiple medica- tions, and its options provide great flexibility to support the specific needs of the user.
