Medication non-adherence is a common problem in clinical practice. Little is known about stroke survivors' primary non-adherence to preventive drugs, and we hypothesised that their beliefs about medicines are associated with primary non-adherence. The objective was to describe primary non-adherence among stroke survivors and to assess associations between primary non-adherence to preventive drugs and beliefs about medicines.
