Use of electronic reminder devices to improve adherence to antiretroviral therapy: a systematic review.

Adherence to prescribed antiretroviral therapy (ART) is one of the strongest predictors of progression to AIDS and death among people living with HIV/AIDS. Incorrect or inconsistent adherence to ART compromises the effectiveness of medications in achieving viral suppression. The objective of this review is to systematically and critically appraise existing evidence on the use of electronic reminder devices (ERDs) to improve adherence to ART among people living with HIV/AIDS.

Inspiring knowledge mobilization through a communications policy: the case of a community university research alliance.

Taking Culture Seriously in Community Mental Health is a community-based participatory action research project in Ontario devoted to developing, pilot testing, and evaluating mental health service models grounded in the concept of "cultural empowerment." To ensure that the knowledge generated in the project is shared and used, the research collaborative places a heavy emphasis on communicating with stakeholder groups. This paper provides an overview of a communications policy designed to facilitate such sharing and use.
