Adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) reduces the risk of recurrence and mortality in women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. However, adherence to AET remains suboptimal. Women's beliefs about medication have been associated with medication adherence. The purpose of this study was to identify multilevel factors associated with women's beliefs about AET.
