The purpose of this book was to improve understanding about factors that may influence adherence to antiretroviral treatment in HIV- positive, urban adults and to describe some of the barriers they face in adhering to antiretroviral therapies. Understanding these factors can help in planning educational programs that target barriers and improve adherence to antiretroviral medication regimens. Several implications for practice and research were suggested from the findings. Inner-city clinics are busy, lack funding, and are overbooked. Physicians working in inner-city clinics might need help with supporting patients' adherence. This research supports the need for health educators or others to work in tandem with physicians to improve patient-clinician relationships and increase adherence to medication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lana Zinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639165837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639165838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.36d","brand":"Lana Zinger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113843241215,"sku":"9783639165838","price":63.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c16b5811-119a-410c-a3a2-b10bc775dac0.jpg?v=1769617529","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medication-adherence-among-hiv-positive-lana-zinger-9783639165838","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
