研究概览
简要总结
The investigators hypothesize that text message reminders to girls diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in the emergency department (ED) will improve follow-up to their primary care provider (PCP) after being discharged from the ED.
详细描述
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that patients diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) receive follow-up care within 72 hours of diagnosis. However, recent studies show that the majority of teenage girls diagnosed with PID do not receive this follow-up care within 72 hours. We hypothesize that text message reminders to girls diagnosed with PID in the emergency department (ED) will improve follow-up to their primary care provider (PCP) after being discharged from the ED.

结局指标
主要结局
PCP follow-up rates will be used to evaluate the efficacy of text message reminders.
时间窗: PCP follow-up rates will be assessed 7-14 days after discharge from the ED.
次要结局
- Number of adolescents satisfied with ED care between the control group and intervention group as a measure of patient satisfaction.(7-14 days after ED discharge)
- Barriers to PCP follow-up from an ED visit to measure use of text message technology and rate of change in follow-up care between groups(7-14 days after ED visit)
- Number of adolescents who accept text message reminders as an measure of feasibility and acceptability.(7-14 days after discharge from the ED)
- Type of participant characteristics associated with PCP follow-up as a measure of behavior change, compliance and rate of follow-up care(7-14 days after ED discharge)
