This study examined the relationship between attitudes towards medication, as measured by the Attitudes towards Mood Stabilizers Questionnaire (AMSQ), and medication adherence, as measured by the Tablets Routine Questionnaire (TRQ). The results show that change in attitudes are correlated with change in medication adherence following an intervention to improve adherence.
