COM-B Model and Medication Adherence Quiz

• The COM-B model is a model for behavioural change that was developed from the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF), which encompasses the domains of several other behavioural models.
• The most influential factor in the COM-B model is the motivational aspect.
• Barriers to medication adherence can be complex and varied, and so solutions to improve adherence must be targeted and multifactorial.
• To facilitate this, there may be a role for some education and a degree of additional support for patients.
• The COM-B model can help to provide some insights as to why some patients do not take their medicines as they are intended to be used.
• Interventions can then be personalised to the needs of that individual.
