Workshop 11 (ticket)
Practical Approaches for Promoting Adherence to Psychotropic Medication Regimens
A critical issue in initiating pediatric pharmacotherapy is establishing a strong treatment alliance with the child’s family. This Workshop guides the child and adolescent psychiatrists through a number of steps that can improve adherence. Participants gain understanding of the role that parental expectations and prior experiences with medicine play in their decisions about initiating medication for their children. Novel but practical strategies to structure the information provided about medication during the initial phases of treatment are outlined. Participants leave with an enhanced repertoire of ways to inquire about treatment behavior and strategies to over come ambivalence about treatment and inconsistent treatment implementation.
