The effects of a lifestyle-focused text-messaging intervention on adherence to dietary guideline recommendations in patients with coronary heart disease: an analysis of the TEXT ME study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:A healthy diet is an important component of secondary prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD). The TEXT ME study was a randomised clinical trial of people with CHD that were randomised into standard care or a text-message programme in addition to standard care. This analysis aimed to: 1) assess the effects of the intervention onadherence to the dietary guideline recommendations; 2) assess the consistency of effect across sub-groups; and 3) assess whether adherence to the dietary guideline recommendations mediated the improvements in objective clinical outcomes. METHODS:Dietary data were collected using a self-report questionnaire to evaluate adherence to eight dietary guideline recommendations in Australia, including consumption of vegetables, fruits, fish, type of fat used for cooking and in spreads, takeaway food, salt and standard alcohol drinks. The primary outcome of this analysis was the proportion of patients adhering to ? 4 dietary guideline recommendations concomitantly and each recommendation was assessed individually as secondary outcomes. Data were analysed using log-binomial regression for categorical variables and analysis of covariance for continuous variables. RESULTS:Among 710 patients, 54% were adhering to ? 4 dietary guideline recommendations (intervention 53% vs control 56%, p?=?0.376) at baseline. At six months, the intervention group had a significantly higher proportion of patients adhering to ? 4 recommendations (314, 93%) compared to the control group (264, 75%, RR 1.23, 95% CI 1.15-1.31, p?

Project description:BackgroundHypertension (HTN) is a major public health concern in the United States, with almost 78 million Americans age 20 years and over suffering from the condition. Moreover, HTN is a key risk factor for health disease and stroke. African Americans disproportionately shoulder the burdens of HTN, with greater prevalence, disease severity, earlier onset, and more HTN-related complications than age-matched whites. Medication adherence for the treatment of HTN is poor, with estimates indicating that only about half of hypertensive patients are adherent to prescribed medication regimens. Although no single intervention for improving medication adherence has emerged as superior to others, text message medication reminders have the potential to help improve medication adherence in African Americans with uncontrolled HTN as mobile phone adoption is very high in this population.ObjectiveThe purpose of this two-phased study was to develop (Phase I) and test in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) (Phase II) a text message system, BPMED, to improve the quality of medication management through increasing medication adherence in African Americans with uncontrolled HTN.MethodsIn Phase I, we recruited 16 target end-users from a primary care clinic, to assist in the development of BPMED through participating in one of three focus groups. Focus groups sought to gain patient perspectives on HTN, medication adherence, mobile phone use, and the use of text messaging to support medication adherence. Potential intervention designs were presented to participants, and feedback on the designs was solicited. In Phase II, we conducted two pilot RCTs to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of BPMED in primary care and emergency department settings. Both pilot studies recruited approximately 60 participants, who were randomized equally between usual care and the BPMED intervention.ResultsAlthough data collection is now complete, data analysis from the two pilot RCTs is still ongoing and results are expected in 2015.ConclusionsThis study was designed to determine preliminary feasibility and acceptability of our approach among African Americans with uncontrolled HTN in primary care and emergency department settings. Results from these studies are of great interest as little work has been done to document the use of text message medication reminders to improve HTN-related outcomes, particularly within underserved urban minorities.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov NCT01465217; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01465217 (Archived by WebCite at http://www.webcitation.org/6V0tto0lZ).

Project description:ImportanceDepression is associated with increased risk of primary and secondary cardiovascular events. Medication adherence may play an essential role.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of depression and 12-month adherence to guideline-directed medical therapies (eg, antiplatelet agents, β-blockers, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors [ie, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers], and statins) following percutaneous coronary intervention.Design, setting, and participantsThis retrospective cohort study included individuals who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2019. Data were collected from a large US health claims database and analyzed between February and August 2022.Main outcomes and measuresProportion of days covered (PDC) for classes of guideline-directed medical therapies, with 12-month adherence categorized as adequate (PDC ≥80% to <90%) or optimal (PDC ≥90%). Multivariable-adjusted regression models were used to evaluate the association of depression with adherence; models incorporated demographic characteristics, comorbid medical and psychiatric conditions, depression treatment, and guideline-directed medical therapy treatment adjustment. The hypothesis was that those with depression would have lower odds of either adequate or optimal adherence to agents essential for guideline-directed medical therapy.ResultsOf 124 443 individuals (mean [SD] age, 69.3 [10.6] years; 41 430 [33.3%] female sex; 3694 [3.0%] Asian, 12 611 [10.1%] Black, and 12 337 [9.9%] Hispanic individuals) who received percutaneous coronary interventions, 20 711 (16.6%) had a diagnosis of depression. Those with depression were significantly less likely to obtain adequate 12-month adherence to antiplatelets (odds ratio [OR], 0.80; 95% CI, 0.77-0.85), β-blockers (OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.80-0.88), and statins (OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.85-0.93) than those without depression; there was no association between depression and adherence to renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (OR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.85-1.00). Those with depression had similarly decreased likelihood of optimal 12-month adherence to antiplatelets, β-blockers, and statins as well as renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (OR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.82-0.94).Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study, patients with depression were less likely to achieve adequate or optimal adherence to medications essential to guideline-directed medical therapies following percutaneous coronary intervention compared with those without depression. Recognition of depression may facilitate targeted interventions to address medication adherence and thereby improve secondary cardiovascular disease prevention.

Project description:Interventions to support people with hypertension in attending clinics and taking their medication have potential to improve outcomes, but delivery on a wide scale and at low cost is challenging. Some trials evaluating clinical interventions using short message service (SMS) text-messaging systems have shown important outcomes, although evidence is limited. We have developed a novel SMS system integrated with clinical care for use by people with hypertension in a low-resource setting. We aim to test the efficacy of the system in improving blood pressure control and treatment adherence compared to usual care.The SMS Text-message Adherence suppoRt trial (StAR) is a pragmatic individually randomised three-arm parallel group trial in adults treated for hypertension at a single primary care centre in Cape Town, South Africa. The intervention is a structured programme of clinic appointment, medication pick-up reminders, medication adherence support and hypertension-related education delivered remotely using an automated system with either informational or interactive SMS text-messages. Usual care is supplemented by infrequent non-hypertension related SMS text-messages. Participants are 1:1:1 individually randomised, to usual care or to one of the two active interventions using minimisation to dynamically adjust for gender, age, baseline systolic blood pressure, years with hypertension, and previous clinic attendance. The primary outcome is the change in mean systolic blood pressure at 12-month follow-up from baseline measured with research staff blinded to trial allocation. Secondary outcomes include the proportion of patients with 80% or more of days medication available, proportion of participants achieving a systolic blood pressure less than 140 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg, hospital admissions, health status, retention in clinical care, satisfaction with treatment and care, and patient related quality of life. Anonymised demographic data are collected on non-participants.The StAR trial uses a novel, low cost system based on widely available mobile phone technology to deliver the SMS-based intervention, manage communication with patients, and measure clinically relevant outcomes. The results will inform implementation and wider use of mobile phone based interventions for health care delivery in a low-resource setting.NCT02019823.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Up to one-third of adolescents and young adults (11-21 years old) with chronic kidney disease exhibit suboptimal rates of adherence to renal-protective antihypertensive medications. Mobile health interventions may promote higher adherence to these medicines in these individuals, but empirical research is needed to inform best practices for applying these modalities. OBJECTIVE:In this multiphase investigation, we developed and tested a theoretically informed text messaging intervention based on the COM-B model, a well-established health intervention framework stating that capability, opportunity, and motivation interactively modify health behaviors, to improve participants' antihypertensive medication adherence in a pilot randomized controlled trial. Qualitative data on user experiences were obtained. METHODS:In phase 1, intervention messages (Reminder+COM-B Message) were developed via stakeholder engagement of participants and pediatric nephrologists. In phase 2, the Reminder+COM-B Message intervention was tested against a Reminder-only Message active control condition in an 8-week pilot randomized controlled trial. The primary outcome was daily electronically monitored antihypertensive medication adherence and secondary outcomes included pre-post participant surveys of adherence self-efficacy, adherence barriers, outcome expectancies for taking medicine, and motivation for and importance of taking medicine. In phase 3, qualitative interviews related to user experiences were conducted with participants in the Reminder+COM-B Message intervention group. RESULTS:Following phase 1, 34 participants (mean age 16.59 years, 41% female, 38% African American/Black, 35% hypertension diagnosis) completed the phase 2 pilot randomized controlled trial (n=18 in the Reminder+COM-B Message intervention group, n=16 in the Reminder-only Message active control group). All participants in the Reminder+COM-B Message intervention group completed a phase 3 qualitative interview. Overall, study procedures were feasible and the Reminder+COM-B Message intervention was acceptable to the participants (eg, 15/18 participants reported reading the majority of messages sent to them, 0/18 reported that the messages reduced their desire to take medicine). Prerandomization, there were no significant group differences in the rate of change in daily adherence over time. However, postrandomization, there was a significant group by time interaction (B=.01, P=.04) in which daily adherence decreased significantly over time in the Reminder-only Message active control group but remained stable in the Reminder+COM-B Message intervention group. There were no significant differences between groups in pre-post changes in survey responses. Qualitative interviews revealed participants' perceptions of how the Reminder+COM-B Message intervention changed adherence behavior and highlighted several areas for improving the intervention (eg, adapt messaging timing, intensity, and content to match daily adherence, send praise when medicine is taken). CONCLUSIONS:The Reminder+COM-B Message intervention was feasible and acceptable to adolescents/young adults and demonstrated potential to promote participants' daily medication adherence beyond simple reminders. Further research is needed to determine the Reminder+COM-B Message intervention's mechanisms of adherence behavior change and to incorporate qualitative participant feedback into a modified version of this intervention to enhance its acceptability.

Project description:BackgroundFew obesity interventions have been developed for American Indian (AI) families despite the disproportionate risk of obesity experienced within AI communities. The emergence of mobile technologies to enhance intervention delivery could particularly benefit AI communities, many of which are hard to reach and underserved.ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess the use and perceptions of text messaging and Facebook to support delivery of the Healthy Children, Strong Families 2 (HCSF2) mailed healthy lifestyle/obesity prevention intervention and discuss lessons learned regarding intervention support via these platforms among AI participants.MethodsFrom among AI families with young children (ages 2-5 y), 450 adult-child dyads were recruited from 5 rural and urban communities for a year-long intervention. Intervention content was delivered by mail and supported by text messaging and optional Facebook groups. Participants provided feedback on text message and Facebook components post-intervention, and Facebook analytic data were tracked.ResultsSelf-report feedback indicated high satisfaction with both text messaging and Facebook, with tangible content (e.g., recipes, physical activity ideas) cited as most useful. Overall, participants reported higher satisfaction with and perceived efficacy of Facebook content compared with text messaging. Analytic data indicate the optional HCSF2 Facebook groups were joined by 67.8% of adult participants. Among those who joined, 78.4% viewed, 50.8% "liked," and 22.6% commented on ≥1 post. Engagement levels differed by urban-rural status, with more urban participants "liking" (P = 0.01) and commenting on posts (P = 0.01). Of note, nearly one-third of participants reported changing phone numbers during the intervention.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates high satisfaction regarding mobile delivery of HCSF2 intervention support components. Best practices and challenges in utilizing different mobile technologies to promote wellness among AI families are discussed, with particular focus on urban-rural differences. Future mobile-based interventions should consider the context of unstable technology maintenance, especially in low-resource communities.This work is part of the HCSF2 trial, which is registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01776255).
