There have been quite a large number of studies on this issue,
looking at various medications and conditions. The findings
have varied depending on the the patient population and the
indication.
Try doing a medline search, using the terms "dose schedule"
"compliance" and specifying clinical trials. Over 250
articles pop up.

Subject: Dose and compliance.
I want to test the assertion that patient compliance with medication is
better with a once daily dose than with a twice daily dose.
Has it been done before?
Any clues?
