Qualitative Feedback From a Text Messaging Intervention for Depression: Benefits, Drawbacks, and Cultural Differences
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Mobile health interventions are often standardized and assumed to work the same for all users; however, we may be missing cultural differences in the experiences of interventions that may impact how and if an intervention is effective. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to assess qualitative feedback from participants to determine if there were differences between Spanish speakers and English speakers. Daily text messages were sent to patients as an adjunct to group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for depression. METHODS: Messages inquired about mood and about specific themes (thoughts, activities, social interactions) of a manualized group CBT intervention. There were thirty-nine patients who participated in the text messaging pilot study. The average age of the participants was 53 years (SD 10.4; range of 23-72). RESULTS: Qualitative feedback from Spanish speakers highlighted feelings of social support, whereas English speakers noted increased introspection and self-awareness of their mood state. CONCLUSIONS: These cultural differences should be explored further, as they may impact the effect of supportive mobile health interventions.

Text messaging reminders have proven effective in increasing treatment adherence among POC community samples, including those in app-based mindfulness meditation studies.
“Text messaging reminders have proven effective in increasing treatment adherence among POC community samples [54-56,63], including those in app-based mindfulness meditation studies [49].”
From App-Based Mindfulness Meditation for People of Color Who Experience Race-Related Stress: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial (2022) · cites this paper as [63]
The Methods (page unavailable) describe therapy-session and optional medication reminders in a depression-treatment group that included Latino and African American patients. In Results, Table 2 (page unavailable), respondents rated whether messages made them more likely to attend sessions highly, but this is self-reported likelihood, not proof that reminders increased treatment adherence. The app-based mindfulness clause has a separate citation and is not attributed to this source. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
