You see that the events seem to be somewhat independent of each other in terms of whether or not an individual is taking their medication. Again we find overdosing -medication may be taken four times instead of three – as well as underdosing, where one event, two events, or all three events may be missed. Again suggesting, at least as we look at this, that while beliefs may be very important in whether or not an individual initiates, continues or drops out of treatment, these daily kinds of events that get in the way are much more likely to be predicting the poor adherence level that we see among those people who stay on treatment but have lots of problems doing so. We also think that dietary adherence may follow similar kinds of patterns. There are limited data on actual adherence to bouts of exercise, there're even less data on eating events where individuals. So the opportunity to be non-adherent to a single meal within a day, to skip the dietary event for a whole day, is all there.
