Table 2 Recommendations for using health behaviour theories to develop long-term adherence promoting interventions in TB and HIV

From: A review of health behaviour theories: how useful are these for developing interventions to promote long-term medication adherence for TB and HIV/AIDS?

â–ª Future research should focus on the further examination of existing theories.

â–ª Further work is required to identify and explore health behaviour theories most applicable to improving adherence to long-term medications.

â–ª Existing health behaviour models should be tested systematically.

â–ª Interventions utilising health behaviour theories appropriately need to be developed and trialled.

â–ª Reports of interventions to promote adherence to long-term medications for other health issues should be reviewed to explore how these have drawn on health behaviour theories.
