Treatment burden as a predictor of self-management adherence within the primary care population.

Purpose: We aimed to (1) describe the amount of treatment burden experienced in the primary care population diagnosed with chronic conditions and (2) examine if cumulative and task-specific treatment burden were predictors of medication, exercise, and dietary adherence in patients diagnosed with chronic conditions.

Design: We conducted a prospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study.

Methods: We enrolled 149 men and women from a single primary care clinic.
