Text Messaging to Improve Adherence To Repeat Colonoscopy In a Veterans Affairs (VA) Hospital
Text Messaging to Improve Adherence To Repeat Colonoscopy In The VA: A Pilot Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Aug 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Colorectal cancer is a common but preventable condition, and increasing colorectal cancer screening is one of the most impactful public health contributions in the field of gastroenterology. Text messaging is a simple, cheap, and rapid method to reach patients that may improve adherence to colonoscopy appointments as well as simplify the process of bowel preparation. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of a pilot bidirectional text messaging intervention on attendance for screening/surveillance colonoscopy and bowel preparation quality at an urban VA hospital. The goal is to improve adherence to colonoscopy among patients who are due for a repeat colonoscopy.
