“…The significant differences observed for the prevalence of non-adherence to pharmacotherapy between Brazilian regions denote the regional inequalities existing in the country. The highest non-adherence rates found for the Northeast, North and Center West regions are in line with what was observed by other authors 14,16 and can be explained by the fact that, in these areas, there is less use and access to health services, [30][31][32] , and lower proportions of access to medicines 33 compared to other regions.…”

Essa diferença pode estar relacionada ao fato dos dados terem sido obtidos através de análise de prontuário de atendimentos de urgência, onde a anamnese costuma ser mais objetiva, em contraste com os demais estudos que foram realizados em escolas e os alunos foram questionados especificamente sobre o uso de drogas.…”
