Abstract
For the physician in a primary care setting, a self-report questionnaire on medication compliance can help to determine whether a lack of hypertension control is due to a drug-taking behavior problem or inadequate medication. Such a questionnaire can easily be implemented as a part of routine care and can help clinicians increase the efficiency of medical care dispensed to hypertensive patients.
