Immediate (level) and relative (slope) changes in adherence following the introduction of the adherence guidelines
| IRR | 95% confidence interval | p value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Period (level change at Dec 2018) | 1.421 | 1.080 | 1.869 | 0.012 |
| Month (slope prior to Dec 2018) | 1.053 | 0.969 | 1.144 | 0.225 |
| Month X period (additional increase in slope for month after Dec 2018) | 0.999 | 0.917 | 1.090 | 0.990 |
Using a multilevel Poisson regression model with fixed effects for month, period (before versus after Dec 2018) and a month X period interaction. A random intercept was included for the participant
