Just to keep record, here's an email from Margaret May regarding this topic: Thanks for the presentation - very interesting findings on the cognitive appreciation of questions and processing of answers. So we could recommend the 3 "best" items at the end of the presentation: 1) In the last 30 days, on how many days did you miss at least one dose of any of your HIV medicine? Write in number of days: (0-30) 2) In the last 30 days, how good a job did you do at taking your HIV medicines in the way you were supposed to? Very poor Poor Fair Good Very good Excellent 3) In the last 30 days, how often did you take your HIV medicines in the way you were supposed to? Never Rarely Sometimes Usually Almost always Always This would certainly have the benefit of simplicity.

I was just at an adherence conference last week and there is no consensus, but what recommendations are given support questions asking about the past 30 days. I have included the presentation from the meeting and highlighted the relevant parts. Also, I have highlighted the corresponding optimal questions in Margaret's document according to these recommendations. If you have further questions, please just let me know. Kind regards, Tracy
