Feasibility of a text-mediated recall system to increase cardiovascular disease risk assessment in general practice: Mixed-methods pilot evaluation.

Background And Objectives: The uptake of formal cardiovascular disease risk assessment in the primary prevention setting is low. We tested the feasibility of an SMS recall system to invite eligible patients for a Heart Health Check in Australian general practice.

Method: Of 332 general practices that expressed interest in the study, 231 were randomised to either an intervention or wait list control group.
