  1. a Inconvenience and forgetfulness subscale, possible range is 3 (most adherent)–15 (least adherent)
  2. b Treatment beliefs subscale, possible range is 4 (most adherent)–20 (least adherent)
  3. c Behavior subscale, possible range is 5 (most adherent)–25 (least adherent)
  4. d Total score possible ranges from 12 (most adherent)–60 (least adherent)
  5. e Pearson correlation for visit 1 and visit 2 across Likert-type range; p < 0.05 significance is 2-tailed
