COM-B As Applied to Medication Adherence Factors
Capability
Physical and psychological capacity to
engage in the behavior
Motivation
All brain processes that energize and direct
behavior toward goals
Opportunity
All factors lying outside the person that
make performing the behavior possible or
prompt it
Psychological: Capacity to engage
in necessary thought processes
Reflective: Evaluations and plans Physical: Physical opportunity
provided by the environment
• Comprehension of disease and treatment
• Cognitive functioning (e.g. memory,
capacity for judgment, thinking)
• Executive function (e.g. capacity to plan)
• Perception of illness (e.g. cause, chronic
vs. acute, etc.)
• Beliefs about treatment (e.g. necessity,
efficacy, concerns about adverse events,
general aversion to taking medication)
• Outcome expectancies
• Self-efficacy
• Cost
• Access (e.g. availability of medication)
• Physical characteristics of medicine (e.g.
taste, smell, size, shape, method of
administration)
• Regimen complexity
Physical: Capacity to engage in
necessary physical processes
Automatic: Emotions and impulses
arising from associative learning and/or
innate dispositions
Social: Social and cultural milieu that
dictates the way we think about things
• Physical capability to adapt to lifestyle
changes (e.g. diet or social behaviors)
• Dexterity to take medication (e.g. open
bottle, inject, etc.)
• Stimuli or cues for action
• Mood state / disorder (e.g. depression or
anxiety)
• Social support
• HCP-patient relationship /
communication / autonomy support
• Stigma of disease, fear of disclosure
• Religious / cultural beliefs

Amotivated
I have no desire
to do this.
External
Someone told
me I have to
do this.
Introjected
I’ve internalized
the nagging:
Better do this.
Identified
Doing this will
help me achieve
goals I really
value.
Integrated
Doing this is part
of who I am.
Intrinsic
I love doing this;
it feels great!
“I can make my own meaningful choices”
“I am learning, growing, and succeeding.”
“I am part of something bigger than myself. I belong.”
