title: Compliance with chemotherapy: theoretical basis and intervention design.
abstract: An experimental chemotherapy compliance enhancement program has been developed based on theory and findings from social psychology and learning theory. The essential ingredients are individualized instruction, behavior shaping and enhancement of social and environmental supports. The differential effects of these interventions upon compliance, as measured both by patient self-reports and by objective pharmacokinetic assays, are being tested.
