Improving Drug Adherence Among Adolescents in Uganda Using SMS Reminders

"Clients will receive a weekly two-way SMS, meaning that the clients in this group will receive the same message as in the one-way SMS study arm, but in addition will be asked how they feel. Clients are required to either press 1 or respond well or press 2 or write 'Unwell in response in the language of their choice within 48 hours. A missing response after 48 hours triggers a second SMS to remind the client to respond. If after 24 more hours the participant still does not respond or if at any point s/he responds unwell then the study coordinator will follow up with a call within 24 hours."

Clients will receive a weekly one-way SMS message. There will be no prompt for any response.
