Objectives:~To determine the prevalence of nonadherence in our population~To assess possible causes of nonadherence and correlate those causes with demographic information and clinical findings~To assess for differences between adherence with immunosuppressive regime versus adherence with other medications (for hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia)~Methods:~A standardized interviewer-administered confidential survey exploring levels of adherence to transplant medications and other medications as well questionnaires on a variety of cognitive and other factors known to be associated with adherence~A brief review of demographics and pertinent laboratory information at the same encounter
