Summary

For accurate antiretroviral adherence measurement, a 1-month recall period is superior to shorter durations. Rating adherence is more precise than frequency or percentage tasks, improving patient monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Medical adherence research
  • Pharmacological monitoring
  • HIV/AIDS treatment outcomes

Background:

  • Self-reported adherence measures for antiretroviral therapy (ART) exhibit significant variability.
  • Different recall periods and response tasks influence the accuracy of self-reported adherence data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the accuracy of various recall time frames (3-day, 7-day, 1-month) for self-reported antiretroviral adherence.
  • To evaluate the accuracy of different 1-month self-report response tasks (frequency, percent, rating) for adherence.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized medication event monitoring system (MEMS) as a reference standard.
  • Compared self-reported adherence data against MEMS data from 643 study visits (156 participants).
  • Analyzed over-reporting (self-report minus MEMS) across different recall periods and response tasks.

Main Results:

  • 1-month recall periods showed significantly less over-reporting (9%) compared to 3-day (17%) and 7-day (14%) periods.
  • The 1-month rating task demonstrated significantly less over-reporting (3%) than 1-month frequency and percent tasks (both 12%).

Conclusions:

  • 1-month recall periods may offer greater accuracy for self-reported antiretroviral adherence than shorter periods.
  • Adherence rating tasks appear more accurate than frequency or percentage-based tasks for self-reporting.
