We found substantial disagreement between patients and their providers with regard to their explanatory models for schizophrenia and limited provider understanding of the barriers, facilitators, and motivators affecting individual patients' medication adherence decisions. Our results highlight the need for tools to improve mental health providers' understanding of their patients' perspectives on schizophrenia and antipsychotic medication treatment. To that end, we will use the findings from this study to develop and evaluate a patient-centered intervention to enhance antipsychotic medication adherence.
