The purpose of this study is to explore the role that family members
play to support patient adherence to immunosuppressive therapy and to obtain
patient and family member input into the development of an intervention to
promote family support of patient adherence to immuno-suppressive therapy.
Because the long-term goal after this study is to test the effectiveness of
a patient-family adherence support intervention in a U.S. and Swiss
population, a secondary objective of this study is to validate instruments
previously used in a European population to measure factors related to
immunosuppressive therapy adherence in a U.S. population.
