Assessing patients’ acceptance of their medication to reveal unmet needs: results from a large multi-diseases study using a patient online community

Background Patients with chronic conditions are required to take long-term treatments for their disease itself or to prevent any potential health risks. Measuring patient acceptance of their medication should help to better understand and predict patients’ behavior toward treatment. This study aimed to describe the level of patient acceptance toward various long-term treatments in real life using an online patient community.
