Study Description

Brief Summary: This pilot clinical trial studies how well technology and health communication works in improving health outcomes in patients scheduled for mammography screening. The Mobile Mammography Screening Program provides a vital health service and it is important that all women scheduled for an appointment show-up to be screened. Technology and health communication may help decrease no-show rates among patients scheduled for mammography screening.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To decrease the mobile mammography unit no-show rate by sending text message appointment reminders to patients. II. To assess the efficacy of the text message reminders at addressing the no-show rate by collecting satisfaction survey data from patients that received the texts and that came to their scheduled appointment. OUTLINE: Patients receive 1-2 text messages a few weeks before and 1 text message 24 hours before their mammography screening appointment. Patients also receive a phone call reminder as per standard practice.
