Barriers to Medication Adherence in People Living With Epilepsy
We observed significant barriers to medication adherence and inadequate seizure control among adult PWE across 8 centers in the United States. This study suggests that PWE might benefit from standardized screening for adherence barriers with behavioral strategies to address these barriers offered during clinical encounters to personalize care.
