Conclusion: This trial did not demonstrate superiority of our intervention over the control arm in changing beliefs about medication or in improving medication adherence over time.Practice implications: Absent intervention effects might have been due to, amongst others, selection bias and a suboptimal treatment integrity level. Hence, targeting beliefs about medication in clinical practice should not yet be ruled out.

Traditional, religious, and cultural perspectives on mental illness: a qualitative study on causal beliefs and treatment use
CONCLUSION: Traditional/alternative treatments play an important role in meeting the need for mental health treatment.

A Comparison of Physicians' and Nurse Practitioners' Use of Race in Clinical Decision-Making.
Conclusions: Physicians had more knowledge of genetic variation and used patients' race less in the clinical decision-making process than NPs. We speculate that these differences may be related to differences in discipline-specific clinical training and approaches to clinical care. Further exploration of these differences is needed, including examination of physicians' and NPs' beliefs about race, how they use race in disease screening and treatment, and if the use of race is contributing to health care disparities.
