Pozsince1995, people do studies as part of their degree, doctorate, post doc training. They are expected to and have to do them. This is why many studies are done. They often just look to do studies that haven't been done or repeat old studies with new data, etc. Anyway, I read a post in poz.com not long ago on a different study that claimed phone app reminders helped people take their meds more. Studies often prove nothing.
Again? POZ publishes an "news story" that leaves out critical facts. As a new injectable medication claiming to increase adherence is getting ready to come to market, money is found to pay for this inane study? If POZ is going to put press releases as "news", then report on the facts. 1. Why was this study done now and not 20 years ago? 2. Who paid the millions this study cost and why? 3. Who did the study? What is their ongoing relationship with the grant provider Or, don't call it news.

Anyway, studies are often done for studies same. The person undertaking the study is often just concerned with getting a study on his/her C.V. The results don't matter. The fact that you can very often tear a study apart proves this! For example, here, if you were to remove the devices from those who use them then would their regularity of tablet taking deteriorate? Yes, it probably would! See what I mean?
