Note. Results from separate logistic regression models where history of unintentional and purposeful nonadherence to medication (1 = history of nonadherence, 0 = no history of nonadherence) were the dependent variables. Codings for predictor variables were: gender [0 = female, 1 = male], race [0 = non-Caucasian, 1 = Caucasian], educational status [0 = not currently a student, 1 = currently a student], current living status [0 = with parents, 1 = on campus or in house or
