Text Message Intervention
Participants in the experimental arm will receive a series of instructional and motivational text messages, which will be sent starting 7-14 days before and until the day of the colonoscopy procedure.
Text Message Instructions/Motivation: For instructional messages, earlier messages will remind patients of the colonoscopy appointment and later messages will help patients complete the bowel preparation process in real-time. Motivational messages will be sent along with instructional messages.
