Non-compliant behaviour is not only costly in terms of time, money and resources, but can also be detrimental to the doctor-patient relationship. Assessment of the prevalence and nature of non-compliance is difficult, but several determinant factors have been found to be associated with it. The aim of this review is to consider these factors and so increase the doctor{\textquoteright}s awareness of this problem.}, issn = {0960-1643}, URL = {https://bjgp.org/content/40/332/114}, eprint = {https://bjgp.org/content/40/332/114.full.pdf}, journal = {British Journal of General Practice} }
