Text Reminders to Immunize in a Managed Care Organization
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Text-based reminder for recommended HPV vaccine or WCC and Non-specific text-based reminder (general health tip) for Human Papilloma Virus. Completed, enrolled 3,812 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a managed care-based HPV vaccination reminder/recall system using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) across diverse practices and patient populations. The trial will measure the effectiveness of text messaging reminder/recall on (a) improving initiation and (b) completion rate of the HPV vaccine series; (c) decreasing the time between vaccine doses; and (d) improving rates of preventive visits for adolescents The hypotheses are that text-messaged reminders to parents of adolescents will result in improved rates of HPV vaccine series initiation, HPV vaccine series completion, will decrease the intervals between vaccine doses and will improve rates of preventive care among adolescents. Parents receiving specific text-messaged reminders about services (i.e. HPV vaccination, well child care visits) for which their adolescent is due will be compared to a control group of parents receiving general health tips through text messages.
