The purpose of this study is to explore the
role that family members play to support patient
adherence to immunosuppressive therapy and to
obtain patient and family member input into the
development of an intervention to promote
family support of patient adherence to
immuno-suppressive therapy.
Because the long-term goal after this study is
to test the effectiveness of a patient-family
adherence support intervention in a U.S. and
Swiss population, a secondary objective of this
study is to validate instruments previously used
in a European population to measure factors
related to immunosuppressive therapy adherence
in a U.S. population.
