The Questionnaire on Attitudes Toward Treatment (QATT) was originally developed for adolescents with attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder, but its applicability in transdiagnostic adolescent psychiatric populations has not been investigated. This study examined medication attitudes and factors associated with noncomplete medication adherence in a transdiagnostic sample of adolescents receiving psychopharmacological treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This secondary analysis included 75 adolescents (12\u201317 years) participating in the multicenter SEMA study (Subjective Experience and Medication Adherence in Adolescents with Psychiatric Disorders). Medication adherence was assessed using the Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS) and the QATT, together with demographic and clinical variables. Adherence was classified as complete or noncomplete. Group comparisons of QATT scores and an exploratory multivariable logistic regression were performed to identify factors associated with noncomplete medication adherence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Forty percent of participants were classified as not completely adherent. Higher QATT scores, indicating less favorable attitudes toward medication, were observed among older adolescents, inpatients, adolescents with internalizing disorders, and participants classified as not completely adherent. In the multivariable logistic regression, higher QATT total scores (odds ratio [OR] = 1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.00\u20131.10;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.048) and polypharmacy (OR = 3.64, 95% CI: 1.03\u201312.88;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.046) were independently associated with noncomplete medication adherence.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this transdiagnostic adolescent psychiatric sample, less favorable medication attitudes, as assessed by the QATT, were associated with noncomplete medication adherence.
