An interventional study of Regularly scheduled LTBI medication reminder text messages in Latent Tuberculosis, sponsored by University of Arizona. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-04-23.
Sponsored by University of Arizona · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine whether regularly scheduled medication reminder text messages (SMS) are effective in increasing latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) treatment completion.
We aim to determine the feasibility and acceptability of text reminders for improving adherence in latent TB patients. Specific objectives of the current study are to: 1) Assess the feasibility of the intervention as indicated by participant recruitment and retention and; 2) Evaluate the acceptability of the intervention, as indicated by intervention adherence, outcome measurement rates, and feedback from participants.
Data will be used to design a definitive trial which will test the hypothesis that the intervention will improve medication adherence, as measured through an increase in treatment completion rates, and result in higher self-reported medication adherence, fewer missed appointments and doses, and a shorter course of treatment.
