abstract: A team of HIV clinicians and medical professionals at Weill Cornell Medical Center at New York Presbyterian Hospital have developed an assessment tool that is used to identify a new HIV patient's potential for adherence. The tool, consisting of 20 questions, was designed to assess the psychosocial factors that could influence a patient's adherence to antiretroviral therapy, according to a senior social worker in the Center for Special Studies at Weill Cornell.
