PG  - 305-9
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Our study uses data from a large clinical trial to further dissect the 
      contributors attitude toward antipsychotic medication measured with the Drug 
      Attitude Inventory (DAI) in schizophrenia. METHOD: A total of 227 consecutive 
      outpatients (140 males, 87 females) with schizophrenia or schizoaffective 
      disorder according to DSM-IV criteria were evaluated. Structural equation models 
      (SEM) were used to examine the relationship between attitudes toward medication 
      as measured with the DAI and clinical variables assessed by Positive and Negative 
      Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF). RESULTS: Among 
      four models, the data better fit a model in which attitudes toward medication 
      (DAI-30) was predicted by PANSS Positive and Insight measures, and GAF 
      (goodness-of-fit = 0.99). CONCLUSION: The data best fit a model where the most 
      complex interaction of insight measures and positive symptoms does predict 
      attitudes toward medication.
