Official title
Meaningful Use of Technology to Improve Health Care Delivery for Urban Adolescents: Focus on Teen Pregnancy Prevention (DepoText Study)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
While there have been major declines in teenage pregnancy around the country, Baltimore, Maryland has continued to experience increases over the last several years. Access and adherence to contraception has been found to be a major contributor to declines in teen pregnancy worldwide. The aim of this proof of concept pilot project is to determine preliminary efficacy of the DepoText Intervention. We will randomize urban adolescent girls who have elected Depo-Provera for ongoing contraception to receive either standard counseling and clinic appointment reminders or a text messaging (DepoTEXT) follow-up intervention. Participants in the DepoTEXT intervention will receive reminders for clinic visits and encouraging messages each month for STI prevention. The primary outcome is the preliminary efficacy for improving appointment adherence.
