Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated SMS text reminders for colorectal cancer screening in Catalonia, finding that they were less effective than standard postal reminders in increasing participation rates.
- The trial involved over 24,000 participants aged 50 to 69 and was halted early due to lower than expected participation in the SMS group (17.2% vs. 21.9% for control).
- Despite initial low participation, a recovery strategy of sending additional postal reminders to nonparticipants in the SMS group improved overall participation rates to 29.3%.
