Abstract
The sociocultural anthropology of medication refusal was studied in relation to compliance and examines the social and cultural meaning of medication outside and within treatment. Apparently these aspects of the medication experience provide the clinician with a deeper and needed understanding of both compliance and drug refusal.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
