Summary: | Medication nonadherence is a prevalent public health problem that compromises patients’ health outcomes and increases healthcare expenditures.1 Studies in Singapore showed that 25.7%–38.9% of patients are nonadherent.2,3 Studies investigating the association between patients’ reasons for nonadherence and their preferences towards adherence enablers are limited.
