    Abstract

    A behaviorally-oriented program for teaching medication management skills to psychiatrically disabled patients was field-tested in a broad range of inpatient and partial-hospitalization clinics representing a wide geographic distribution across the United States. Results indicated that medical practitioners and others in the allied health professions were able to implement the medication management program with a high degree of fidelity. Additionally, patients who participated in the study demonstrated significant gains in cognitive mastery of the program content, high levels of skill attainment, increased utilization of medication management skills, and a significant increase in medication compliance.
