Adherence is a critical mediator of treatment outcome across health conditions and low rates of adherence undermine success in smoking cessation treatment. This narrative review provides an overview of different techniques that can be used to measure adherence to smoking cessation treatments and outlines strategies to address treatment adherence. Techniques to measure adherence include conducting pill counts, collecting self-reports of adherence, directly observed therapy, biochemical verification methods, and electronic data collection via medication events monitoring systems. Techniques examined for increasing tobacco cessation treatment adherence include counseling, automated adherence calls, feedback from electronic monitors, contingency management and directly observed therapy. Adherence monitoring and optimization should be a standard component of smoking cessation treatment research.
