Is covert dose reduction a distinct type of medication non-adherence observed across all care settings in inflammatory bowel disease?
Covert dose reduction of IBD medication is more common than omission of medication doses, predicted by different factors to usual non-adherence, and has not been previously reported in IBD. The strongest predictor of CDR is regular CAM use.

Disclosure of imaging information resulted in improved understanding of parkinsonian symptoms in nearly half of subjects, and less belief among 'no dopamine transporter deficit' subjects that they had a diagnosis of Parkinson disease.
