Although vitamin and mineral supplementation for nutritional deficiencies is a common component of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) management, little is known about supplement adherence in this group. This study described adherence to multivitamin, iron, and calcium supplements among 49 youth aged 11-18 years with IBD. Additionally, the study examined relationships between supplement knowledge and adherence.
