Abstract. When using Short Message Service (SMS) as a tool for data collection in psychological research, participants can be contacted at any time. This study examined how sampling frequency and time of day of contact impacted on response rates, response completeness, and response delay in repeated measures data collected via SMS. Eighty-five undergraduate students completed a six-item self-report questionnaire via SMS, in response to 20 SMS prompts sent on a random schedule. One group responded across 2 days, the other on a compressed schedule of 1 day. Overall, there was a high response rate. There was no significant difference in response rate, completeness, and delay of those responding across 1 or 2 days. Timing between prompts did not impact on response behavior. Responses were more likely to be complete if prompts were sent during the working day. The shortest time between prompts was 15 min, however, and use of an undergraduate sample limits generalizability. When conducting repeated measures sampling using SMS, researchers should be aware that more frequent sampling can be associated with poorer data quality, and should aim to collect data during the working day rather than mornings or evenings.

Iron supplementation is a government program to overcome anemia among expectant mothers, and some of the expectant mothers still do not obediently consume iron tablets. Therefore, to increase the obedience of the expectant mothers on consuming the iron tablets, SMS reminder is the appropriate method needed. This research aims to identify the effectiveness of SMS reminder to the obedience of iron tablets consumption among expectant mothers at UPT Puskesmas Cibuntu , Bandung. The research employed quasi-experimental design with posttest-only control group design using purposive sampling technique. The research was held on April–May 2014 at UPT Puskesmas Cibuntu, Bandung. Forty expectant mothers consuming iron tablets disobediently divided into 20 intervention groups and 20 control groups were taken as the samples. Questionnaire in form of self report was used to obtain data. In addition, descriptive analysis and chi square test were applied to analyze the data. The result of the research showed that 17 persons (85%) of intervention groups were mostly obedient, and 16 persons (80%) of control groups were mostly disobedient. From the analysis using chi square, it was found the difference of the obedience of iron tablets consumption after SMS reminder (p=0.00) had been delivered with significant level <0.05. Based on the result of this research, SMS reminder had an effective impact toward the obedience of iron tablets consumption among the expectant mothers. The result will be a good consideration for Puskesmas to cooperate with provider or proposed some funds to Dinas Kesehatan to activate SMS reminder.Key words:Expectant mothers, obedience, SMS reminder, iron tablets

We examined the influence of the overall content characteristic of short message service (SMS) advertising on consumer attitudes toward advertising on mobile devices. Attitudes of 246 Chinese (145 women, 101 men) toward permission-based SMS advertising received on electronic products were measured using structural equation modeling. Results showed that of the 4 dimensions of the overall content characteristic, entertainment, informativeness, and credibility positively and significantly influenced the attitude of consumers, whereas irritation had a negative effect. In addition, the overall content characteristic significantly impacted on consumer attitudes, with advertising value playing a mediating role. Finally, the influencing path coefficients revealed a significant difference according to gender. The credibility dimension had a greater impact on attitude toward the overall content characteristic for women than for men. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

The study was conducted to examine the effect of Short Message Service (SMS) Texting on medication adherence among tuberculosis patients. 68 persons diagnosed with tuberculosis and registered in the public health center in Klari, Karawang, West Java, Indonesia, were randomly appointed to an experimental or control group; 34 persons assigned to each group. Participants in the experimental group received routine SMS Texting, while those in the control group receive none. Data were analyzed using Dependent t-test and Independent t-test. The results indicated that after participating by receiving SMS texting, there was a significant improvement in medication adherence in TB patients in the experimental group, which was shown by significant difference in mean score of medication adherence. In addition, after participating in the program, there was a meaningful difference in mean scores of medication adherence between the experimental group (X=6.38, SD=0.85) and the control group (X=3.64, SD=1.04), p<0.01. The SMS Texting method appears to be effective in improving medication adherence among TB patients.

BACKGROUND Low back pain (LBP) is a frequent reason for emergency department (ED) presentations with a global prevalence of 4.4%. Despite being common, the number of clinical trials investigating LBP in the ED is low. Recruitment of patients in EDs can be challenging due to the fast-paced and demanding ED environment. OBJECTIVE To describe the recruitment and response rates using a short message service (SMS) and an online survey system supplemented by telephone calls to recruit LBP patients and collect health outcomes in the ED. METHODS An automated SMS system was integrated into REDCap and used to collect patient-reported outcomes for an implementation trial in Sydney, Australia. We invited patients with non-serious LBP who presented to participating EDs at one, two and four weeks after ED discharge. Patients who did not respond to the initial SMS invitation were sent a reminder SMS or contacted via telephone. Recruitment rate was measured as the proportion of patients who agreed to participate and response rate as the proportion of participants completing the follow-up surveys at weeks two and four. Regression analyses were used to explore factors associated with response rates. RESULTS In total, 807 patients with non-serious LBP were invited to participate and 425 (53%) agreed to participate. The week-1 survey was completed by 416 (52%) participants. At week-2, the response rate was 87% (360/416) and at week-4 was 84% (351/416). Overall, 60% of the surveys were completed via SMS/online and 40% via telephone. Younger participants and those from less socioeconomically disadvantaged areas were more likely to respond to the survey via the SMS/online system. CONCLUSIONS Using an SMS/online survey system supplemented by telephone calls is a viable method to recruit patients with LBP and collect health outcomes in the ED. This hybrid system could potentially reduce the costs of using traditional recruitment and data collection methods (e.g. face-to-face, telephone calls only). CLINICALTRIAL

Abstract. The ubiquity of mobile telephones worldwide offers a unique opportunity for bidirectional communication between researchers and participants. There are two ways mobile phones could be used to collect self-report data: via Short Message Service (SMS) or app (mobile telephone software applications). This study examined the comparative data quality offered by SMS and app, when mobile phone type, self-report instrument, and sampling schedule are controlled. One hundred ten undergraduate students used their own iPhones to complete the same repeated measures instrument on 20 occasions, responding either by SMS or by app. There were no differences between SMS and app respondents in terms of response rates or response delay. However, data from those responding via SMS was significantly less complete than from app respondents. App respondents rated their respondent experience as more convenient than SMS respondents. Though findings are only generalizable to an undergraduate sample, this suggests that researchers should consider using apps rather than SMS for repeated measures self-report data collection.

The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has greatly threatened the global health system and triggered the public health emergency. In order to manage the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare and prevention information have been delivered through omni-media channels (e.g., television, radio, social platform, etc.). As a traditional outlet, the short message service (SMS) can timely provide abundant anti-epidemic alerts to mobile users. In this paper, we aim to investigate mobile users’ attitudes toward COVID-19 public-interest SMS sent from government authorities and then explore the insight from messaging texts collected between January and April 2020 in China. In general, respondents show a positive attitude towards content and the necessity of public-interest SMS during the pandemic. However, we find that gender and age differences not only affect content evaluation, but also influence reading and forwarding behaviors. For the necessity of SMS, it shows significant difference between the 18–25-year-old and over 40-year-old group, with the middle and elder group showing serious attitudes and giving higher remarks than the youth due to the habits of media usage. However no significant difference is presented between females and males. In terms of content, the category of topics and releasing institutions are analyzed, respectively. Due to the centralized responses and coordination of prevention and control in China, the messages from COVID-19 disposal organizations (e.g., municipal steering group and provincial CDC) account for more than 70% among four cities.

Abstract Background: We assessed patient by automated survey method in understanding and satisfaction with the use of fever clinic, and observed the effectiveness of this method. Methods: Total 873 patients in fever clinc at Jiangsu Province Hospital (JSPH) from 20 January 2019 to 18 June 2020 were investigated by an antomated survey method conbined by Wechat, Short Message Service (SMS) and AI voice call. Responses were assessed for overall positivity or negativity and further compared according to patients types (isolated patients and non-isolated patients). Responses were also described and compared for each type of survey. Results: A total of 379 patient surveys were returned, for a total response rate of 43.4%. Isolated and non-isolated patients responses were similar and all with more than 90% satisfaction. Most isolated patient represent that the medical staff had explained to them the reason for the isolation and know that can helps prevent COVID-19. AI voice calls had the highest percentage of all response types, followed by WeChat and SMS. Conclusion: The patient has a positive response to the use of fever clinic. The automated survey method combine by different survey types can bring great convenience to the investigation while ensuring good investigation efficiency.
