Core Tip	As we work towards global hepatitis B elimination, it is essential to understand how individuals’ medical and psychosocial dimensions of care influence treatment adherence. Overall findings from this study demonstrate high treatment adherence among participants living with hepatitis B. However, access to and acceptability of healthcare services, as well as an individual’s physical functioning challenges, appear to be related to low adherence. This study adds new data and can inform future treatment guidelines to better align with patients’ lived experiences and support effective programmatic strategies aimed at optimizing treatment adherence and improving health outcomes for people living with hepatitis B worldwide.
