Abstract

There is a growing interest in the effect of mobile phones in health care (mHealth) service delivery, but more research is needed to determine whether short message service (SMS)-based campaigns are appropriate for developing countries. This pilot study explored the efficacy of an mHealth campaign using SMS as a platform to disseminate and measure HIV/AIDS knowledge, and to promote HIV/AIDS testing at clinics in rural Uganda. Over a 1-month period, 13 HIV/AIDS quiz questions were sent to 10,000 mobile subscribers. Despite participation incentives, only one-fifth of the mobile subscribers responded to any of the questions. The campaign had proportionately limited success in increasing knowledge levels on a mass scale. Furthermore, the program design may be reinforcing entrenched knowledge gaps. The results suggest that it is important to be conservative when considering the potential overall effect of SMS-based programs. However, the authors recognize the potential of mHealth tools when extended to millions of mobile phone users as part of an integrated health campaign approach. The authors propose several steps to improve the program design to reach a larger portion of the intended audience and increase campaign effectiveness.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
