OK, so the headline seems a little bit misleading.

It seems that the boost in adherence comes with not just a urine test for compliance to the medication, but that you’ll get called in and they’ll sit you down and have a little chat about while you’re missing your medications. So it’s more about a program of testing and some pressure to boost your adherence. Not just a test.

So, obviously that’s gonna get people to be better about taking their medication. I don’t know why they wasted a bunch of money in time testing that idea out. One would think the results would be obvious to anybody with a brain.
