Resumo	The Tablet Questionnaire is a brief, simple self-report tool designed to assess medication non-adherence through direct questions about dose-skipping behavior and reasons for non-adherence. Developed by Adeniji and Brown in 2012, it prioritizes simplicity and cultural accessibility, making it particularly valuable in low-resource settings and populations with limited health literacy. Despite its brevity, the measure demonstrates good sensitivity for detecting non-adherence and has been validated across African and international populations.	The Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS) is a 10-item self-report measure developed by Thompson, Kulkarni, and Sergejew in 2000 to assess medication adherence behaviors and attitudes in psychiatric populations, particularly antipsychotic medication use. Although originally validated in schizophrenia, it has been successfully applied across diverse medical conditions including hypertension, diabetes, and chronic disease management, providing a quick, sensitive assessment of actual adherence frequency and admission of problematic medication-taking behaviors.
