How well do patients report noncompliance with antihypertensive medications?: a comparison of self‐report versus filled prescriptions

To address poor patient compliance with antihypertensives, clinicians and researchers need accurate measures of adherence with prescribed regimens. Although self‐reports are often the only means available in routine practice, their accuracy and agreement with other data sources remain questionable.
