Feasibility and Acceptability of a REDCap-Embedded HIPAA-Compliant Text Messaging Application to Track Medication Adherence in Adolescents With Lupus.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objective

Despite advances in clinical care and treatment options, adolescents with lupus continue to experience adverse health outcomes. Poor adherence to medication regimens is a major contributor to these negative outcomes. The utility of short message service (SMS) in tracking barriers to adherence prospectively remains untested for adolescents with lupus. Our objectives were (1) feasibility of incorporating a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant SMS text messaging application into REDCap and (2) acceptability of using SMS text messaging to track barriers to medication adherence in adolescents with lupus.

Methods

This study is a 12-week pilot cohort study of adolescents with SLE per the 1997 revised American College of Rheumato
