研究概览
简要总结
The objective of this study is to develop and test an emergency department (ED)-based intervention which uses text messages to facilitate contraception initiation.
详细描述
Our hypothesis is that adolescent females at high pregnancy risk who receive text message reminders and motivational messages that promote contraception and referral to the Family Planning Clinic are more likely to start effective contraception than those who receive standard paper-based referral to the Family Planning Clinic alone.
