Primary
| Measure | Time frame |

| Expected outcome 1: It is expected to find in the intervention group a significant decrease in the scores of predictors of adherence, that is, improvement in the predictors of adherence of patients from baseline to follow-up in relation to the control group, in the period of 90 days, verified through the Scale of Evaluation of Factors Related to Adherence to Pharmacological Treatment in Psychiatric Patients, between the pre and post intervention periods;Outcome found 1: A decrease in the scores of predictors of adherence was observed in the intervention group, that is, improvement in the predictors of adherence of patients from baseline to follow-up (10.7 [standard deviation equal to 6, 1] versus 4.2 [standard deviation equal to 3.6]; p less than 0.001) and in the control group, there was no difference in scores of predictors of adherence at baseline and follow-up (9.5 [deviation standard equal to 5.9] versus 9.5 [standard deviation equal to 6.8]; p=0.925), in the period of 90 days, verified through the Scale of Evaluation of Factors Related to Adherence to Pharmacological Treatment in Psychiatric Patients , between the pre and post intervention periods. | — |

| Expected outcome 2: It is expected to find in the intervention group a significant increase in the scores of the level of knowledge, from the baseline to the follow-up, in relation to the control group, in the period of 90 days, verified by means of an instrument that evaluates the level of knowledge of patients in relation to prescribed drugs, between the pre and post intervention periods.;Outcome found 2: In the intervention group, an increase in the scores of patients' level of knowledge was observed, from baseline to follow-up (6.21 [standard deviation: 2.07] versus 9.61 [standard deviation: 1. 35]; p<0.001) and in the control group there was no difference in the scores of the level of knowledge, from baseline to follow-up (6.03 [standard deviation: 2.46] versus 6.06 [standard deviation=2 ,69]; p=0.909), in the period of 90 days, verified by means of an instrument that evaluates the level of knowledge of the patients in relation to the prescribed medications, between the pre and post intervention periods. | — |
