ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND
Hypertension is a chronic condition that requires long term management to avoid complications. It is a growing public health concern. Adherence to medication therapy has been identified as a major problem in people with chronic conditions although there are several evidence to show effectiveness of medication. A worldwide non adherence to medication among chronic patients is estimated to be 50% and this is not different in Ghana. Non adherence again leads suboptimal therapy and uncontrolled blood pressure. Hypertension morbidity and mortality has consistently increased at Cocoa clinic as a result of uncontrolled blood which can be caused by low or non adherence to therapy. This study determined the factors associated with adherence to medication among adults receiving care at Cocoa clinic.
