Age-adjusted HD knowledge was higher and non-adherence rates were lower in Japan vs. the US. However, because of the unexpected finding of 100% adherence in Japan, we were unable to formally test whether knowledge was significantly associated with adherence across both countries. Further research is needed to understand the reasons behind the higher non-adherence rates in the US.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
