Role of Tailored Timing and Frequency Prompts on the Efficacy of an Internet-Delivered Stress Recovery Intervention for Health Care Workers: Randomized Controlled Trial

Role of Tailored Timing and Frequency Prompts on the Efficacy of an Internet-Delivered Stress Recovery Intervention for Health Care Workers: Randomized Controlled Trial

To enhance retention in ICBT, various persuasion techniques, such as text message reminders, have been proposed [8]. The inclusion of prompts to encourage engagement in internet interventions for healthy behavior and mental health has shown promising results [9]. Research findings are, however, inconsistent, with studies finding no significant clinical benefits of supplementary prompts in digital treatment [10].

US State Public Health Agencies' Use of Twitter From 2012 to 2022: Observational Study

US State Public Health Agencies' Use of Twitter From 2012 to 2022: Observational Study

Previous work has also identified different message frames between CDC and state and local health department Facebook posts [25], which could relate to our observed trends in decreasing engagement with CDC tweets and Twitter accounts in the latter half of our study period. Though Twitter and Facebook are prominent social media platforms, future research should quantitatively analyze state health departments’ use of other platforms as well.

Using Text Messaging Surveys in General Practice Research to Engage With People From Low-Income Groups: Multi-Methods Study

Using Text Messaging Surveys in General Practice Research to Engage With People From Low-Income Groups: Multi-Methods Study

While the standard route for collecting patient data in health research has traditionally been paper-based surveys [5], SMS text message methods may offer equivalent, if not higher, response rates than paper-based methods [6,7], and patients express a preference for SMS text message–based surveys over paper-based alternatives [8], including in low-income settings [9].

Developing a Text Messaging Intervention to Prevent Binge and Heavy Drinking in a Military Population: Mixed Methods Development Study

Developing a Text Messaging Intervention to Prevent Binge and Heavy Drinking in a Military Population: Mixed Methods Development Study

College students (N=130) who reported a history of tailgating and binge drinking were randomized to 1 of 2 SMS text message groups: an event-specific SMS text message or generic alcohol education messages. At the 1-month follow-up, those in the event-specific SMS text message group reported lower estimated peak blood alcohol concentration than those who received generic alcohol education messages.

Feasibility of Using Text Messaging to Identify and Assist Patients With Hypertension With Health-Related Social Needs: Cross-Sectional Study

Feasibility of Using Text Messaging to Identify and Assist Patients With Hypertension With Health-Related Social Needs: Cross-Sectional Study

The initial message was sent to the patient’s cell phone number listed in the EHR on March 14, 2023. All of the 4446 patients eligible had a phone number listed in the EHR. For those that did not respond, the same message was sent again 1 week later. Responses were documented in the EHR. The SMS text message and questionnaire were sent in English or Spanish based on the preferred language of the patient listed in the EHR.

Testing Behavioral Messages to Increase Recruitment to Health Research When Embedded Within Social Media Campaigns on Twitter: Web-Based Experimental Study

Testing Behavioral Messages to Increase Recruitment to Health Research When Embedded Within Social Media Campaigns on Twitter: Web-Based Experimental Study

While there is some guidance for the ethical use of social media for recruiting participants for health research [25], little is known about optimizing the use of platforms such as Twitter and Facebook for health-related research recruitment [19,26], such as the contents of the message to be used for targeting eligible individuals. However, we can infer potential key components of a social media message from other areas using behavioral sciences.

Trial Participants’ Perceptions of the Impact of Ecological Momentary Assessment on Smoking Behaviors: Qualitative Analysis

Text message–based EMA data collection was used to record smoking patterns. Patients from the electronic health record system of New York University Langone Health—a private hospital system serving New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut—were recruited as RCT participants.

Effect of a Reminder System on Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Adherence in Men Who Have Sex With Men: Prospective Cohort Study Based on WeChat Intervention

Effect of a Reminder System on Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Adherence in Men Who Have Sex With Men: Prospective Cohort Study Based on WeChat Intervention

For example, when users received a “You need to learn” message from Future Health Management, it is a reminder that they should take the medicine that day. When users received a “Time for examination” message from Future Health Management, it is a reminder that they should visit the study center for the 3-month follow-up (Figure 2). A: reminds users that they should take their medicine that day and B: reminds users that they should go for a follow-up visit.

Developing the Message Assessment Scale for Tobacco Prevention Campaigns: Cross-sectional Validation Study

Developing the Message Assessment Scale for Tobacco Prevention Campaigns: Cross-sectional Validation Study

To assess message effectiveness, campaign messages are often rated using a single item or multiple items on a scale, and scores are calculated [2]. Perceived message effectiveness (PME), defined as the practice of using a target audience’s evaluative ratings to inform message selection, is one approach to assess message effectiveness.
