Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to use the Medication Adherence Reasons Scale (MAR-Scale) to determine the extent of non-adherence to specific medications indicated to treat cystic fibrosis, hemophilia (A or B), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, myasthenia gravis, and sickle cell disease, and to identify the top patient-reported reasons for non-adherence. Internal reliability of the MAR-Scale will also be assessed in each condition.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To use the MAR-Scale to determine the extent of non-adherence to specific medications indicated to treat a range of rare diseases. [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
    Percentage of respondents who indicated at least one reason for non-adherence in the past seven days.

  2. To use the MAR-Scale to determine the extent of non-adherence to specific medications indicated to treat a range of rare diseases. [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Percentage of respondents who indicated at least one reason for non-adherence in the past seven days.

  3. To use the MAR-Scale to determine the extent of non-adherence to specific medications indicated to treat a range of rare diseases. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Percentage of respondents who indicated at least one reason for non-adherence in the past seven days.

  4. To use the MAR-Scale to determine the extent of non-adherence to specific medications indicated to treat a range of rare diseases. [ Time Frame: 9 months ]
    Percentage of respondents who indicated at least one reason for non-adherence in the past seven days.

  5. To use the MAR-Scale to determine the extent of non-adherence to specific medications indicated to treat a range of rare diseases. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Percentage of respondents who indicated at least one reason for non-adherence in the past seven days.

  6. To use the MAR-Scale to identify the top patient-reported reasons for non-adherence to specific medications indicated to treat these rare diseases. [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
    Tally of reasons for non-adherence.

  7. To use the MAR-Scale to identify the top patient-reported reasons for non-adherence to specific medications indicated to treat these rare diseases. [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Tally of reasons for non-adherence.

  8. To use the MAR-Scale to identify the top patient-reported reasons for non-adherence to specific medications indicated to treat these rare diseases. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Tally of reasons for non-adherence.

  9. To use the MAR-Scale to identify the top patient-reported reasons for non-adherence to specific medications indicated to treat these rare diseases. [ Time Frame: 9 months ]
    Tally of reasons for non-adherence.

  10. To use the MAR-Scale to identify the top patient-reported reasons for non-adherence to specific medications indicated to treat these rare diseases. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Tally of reasons for non-adherence.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. To perform psychometric analysis of the MAR-Scale questionnaire based on data collected from rare disease patients. [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
    Use the 200 responses collected from each condition to determine the Cronbach's alpha of the scale for each condition.
