Intentionality and adherence.
Notes: Both non-adherence and adherence can be intentional or non-intentional. An episode of unintentional non-adherence may lead to intentional non-adherence, if the patient observes the absence of untoward consequences (arrow 1). Adherence may initially be intentional to give way to unintentional adherence through habit (arrow 2).
