Children and caregiver self-reports were generally similar in reporting adherence and were not highly correlated with MEMS reports of adherence, with children and caregivers reporting higher level of adherence than the MEMS data. This may indicate that children and caregiver reports are similarly inaccurate or biased; however, further research with larger sample sizes is required to further understand the differences in these reports.
