1. A manager of an outpatient psychiatric clinic is interested in improving the health outcomes for psychiatric clients. He believes that adherence to therapies is a primary determinant of treatment success. His review of previous research has shown that medication non-adherence in clients with psychiatric disorders often leads to substantial worsening of disease, increased hospitalizations, and other negative outcomes. The literature review also showed that compliance is improved with effective management of side effects by clinicians. He has implemented a pilot program that involves training all clinicians on how to monitor and treat side effects based on his theory that this will improve client medication compliance. Which of the following statements is a null hypothesis for this research?

	a.	Improving clinicians' ability to recognize and treat clients' side effects will increase medication compliance.
	b.	Client's compliance will improve if they know more about side effects knowledge
	c.	Improving clinicians' ability to recognize and treat clients' side effects will decrease medication compliance
	d.	Improving clinicians' ability to recognize and treat clients' side effects will have no impact on medication compliance
