Abstract
The findings of the study extend the utility of the Common-Sense Model, suggesting that adherence to therapeutic regimens may be enhanced by improving a sense of controllability. For patients who experience symptoms related to high blood pressure, barriers to adherence may be reduced by assessing and clarifying the meaning of illness identity and causal attributions.
