28TH 2-4PM
Financial incentives have been considered as a
notion to improve medication adherence in
patients with severe mental illnesses. There has
been a lively debate with strong opinions
expressed in favour and against using such
incentives.
The presentation will summarise the argument
about the use of financial incentives; present
views of stakeholders obtained in a focus group
study; and show the results of a randomised
controlled trial (FIAT) testing the effectiveness of financial incentives to
improve adherence to antipsychotic maintenance medication over a one
year period. In the trial, incentives led to a significant improvement in
medication adherence. Implications for practice will be discussed.
