Overview

Helping people adhere to recommended treatment and prevention regimens, and maintain health behaviors over time, are key focus areas within the behavioral and social sciences. These efforts hold great promise for improving both individual and public health. The NIH Adherence Research Network Scientific Interest Group and OBSSR have been longstanding collaborators in advancing this research.

This presentation provided an overview of the NIH Adherence Research Network’s current activities and introduced an ongoing initiative on health behavior maintenance research, co-sponsored by OBSSR. These efforts were encapsulated in a research call (NOT-OD-24-146) issued by OBSSR, with co-sponsorship from 13 additional NIH Institutes and Offices.
