Nonadherence within the schizophrenic population is a challenge for both the patient and the clinician. This problem not only causes an increase in health care use and cost but also places the patient at risk of relapse and dissatisfaction with medical care. Nonadherence is influenced by several factors including disease, treatment, and psychological and social factors. All of these factors must be addressed if the clinician hopes to reduce nonadherence within this patient population. This article will attempt to identify factors that contribute to nonadherence and review strategies that can be implemented to address each of these factors.

Key Words: Nonadherence • schizophrenia • addressing • strategies • treatment • psychosocial • disease • factors.
