Patient adherence is connected to communication, yet there is a gap in understanding physician nonverbal communication and African American patient adherence with gender discrepancies. The purpose of this study based on the theory of planned behavior was to explore physicians' nonverbal immediacy as a predictor in African American patient adherence to attending appointment, appropriately utilizing medications, and following treatment recommendations, as moderated by gender. Participants (N = 130) were African Americans ages 18 and over who had attended at least one appointment with a healthcare provider in the preceding year. Data were collected through surveys using the nonverbal immediacy scale-observer report, the medication adherence estimator, the treatment adherence perception questionnaire, and appointment adherence rate measured appointment adherence. Multiple regression was used with each of the adherence measures used as dependent variables. Gender, the moderator variable, and nonverbal immediacy were the independent variables for all three regressions. Nonverbal immediacy was found to be positively correlated with following treatment recommendations, appointment attendance, and medication adherence. Female participants were more likely to adhere to treatment adherence than male participants, and female participants were less likely to adhere to appointment attendance and medication use than male participants. The findings help positive social change by filling the gap in cultural understanding of nonverbal immediacy between providers and African American patients and have implications for positive social change by potentially improving African American patients' adherence to prescribed health regimens.
