WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Quantitative Assessment Questionnaire for Treatment Adherence, QAT-25 Test

Treatment Adherence Quantitative Assessment Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

compliance

This questionnaire is designed to quantify a patient’s adherence to prescribed treatment recommendations. The Treatment Adherence Quantitative Assessment Questionnaire provides a structured self-report approach to identifying patterns of follow-through with aspects of a care plan. It consists of 25 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete.

Items focus on observable adherence behaviors (e.g., medication-taking and other regimen components as applicable), supporting clinical discussion of barriers and targets for intervention. Scores are intended to inform care planning and monitoring over time rather than to serve as a stand-alone diagnostic indicator. The Treatment Adherence Quantitative Assessment Questionnaire is attributed to Donald E. Morisky and John R. DiMatteo.
