Dale had moderate pain in his right great toe three times in the last two years. He was told that he has gout. Dale was given medication each time, which relieved the discomfort. Yesterday, he went to the doctor and was told that he had gout again and that he should take the medication on an ongoing basis, one pill after breakfast and one at bedtime. After 2 months, Dale decided not to continue taking the medication. Dale’s behaviour can be explained by the fact that
a.   no one was checking up on Dale’s adherence
b.   he had to change a long standing habit
c.   the regimen was too complex
d.   adherence decreases as duration of treatment increases
e.   he had side effects
