To improve operational efficiency as well as to improve patient compliance in leprosy programmes, DANIDA introduced blister-calendar packs (BCP) to deliver MDT in 4 MDT districts in India in 1987. An objective study (Phase II) involving 343 patients in a trial group (BCP group) and 253 patients in a control group (loose drug group) showed no significant difference in compliance rates for self-administered dose between the 2 groups. Hence, while assessing the use of BCPs in leprosy programmes, other operational benefits like safe storage, easy transportation, easy drug accounting and safe preservation at home are to be considered. These aspects were followed up from Phase I of the study.
为提高麻风病防治项目的运作效率并提高患者的依从性，丹麦国际开发署于1987年在印度的4个多药治疗区引入了泡罩日历包装（BCP）来提供多药治疗。一项客观研究（第二阶段）涉及试验组的343名患者（BCP组）和对照组的253名患者（散装药物组），结果显示两组自我给药剂量的依从率无显著差异。因此，在评估泡罩日历包装在麻风病防治项目中的使用时，应考虑其他运作方面的益处，如安全储存、便于运输、易于药物核算以及在家中安全保存。这些方面从研究的第一阶段就开始跟进。
