Primary Outcomes
Treatment Satisfaction Score Determined With Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication Version II (TSQM v II)
Time Frame: Month 6
TSQM v II is designed as a general measure of treatment satisfaction with medication, suitable for use across a wide variety of medication types and illness conditions. It consists 11 question items. Participants were asked to assess their level of satisfaction taking all things into account. Participants were to respond about their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with medication they are taking on a scale ranging from 1 to 7, where 1= Extremely Dissatisfied, 2=Very Dissatisfied, 3=Dissatisfied, 4=Somewhat Satisfied, 5=Satisfied, 6=Very Satisfied, 7=Extremely Satisfied.
