Pairwise comparisons of three medication adherence outcomes in adolescents who use alcohol.

The study yielded important and practical information. First, incorporating more than one method of adherence assessment may capture estimated floor and ceiling adherence in the absence of a biological marker. This is particularly relevant for remote or hybrid studies where bio-marker collection is challenging. Selection of the assessment methods will depend on study goals. Second, the continuation of medication adherence research can benefit each phase of clinical trials and inform rigorous pharmacotherapy evaluation.
