Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This pilot clinical trial studies how well technology and health communication works in improving health outcomes in patients scheduled for mammography screening. The Mobile Mammography Screening Program provides a vital health service and it is important that all women scheduled for an appointment show-up to be screened. Technology and health communication may help decrease no-show rates among patients scheduled for mammography screening.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To decrease the mobile mammography unit no-show rate by sending text message appointment reminders to patients.

II. To assess the efficacy of the text message reminders at addressing the no-show rate by collecting satisfaction survey data from patients that received the texts and that came to their scheduled appointment.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive 1-2 text messages a few weeks before and 1 text message 24 hours before their mammography screening appointment. Patients also receive a phone call reminder as per standard practice.
