背景
年轻人导致了最近短信使用率的上升，短信越来越多地用于临床环境。
目的
评估短信沟通作为临床研究工具的可行性和可接受性。
方法
在维多利亚的四个全科诊所（一个内城区，一个外城区，一个农村和一个大学诊所）连续招募了110名16-24岁的年轻患者，并在咨询前进行了访谈。如果患者有移动的电话，他们被要求提供他们的移动的电话号码，以便在医疗咨询后，他们可以通过短信收到一个关于他们对咨询满意度的问题。
结果
91%的患者参与了研究：96名患者中有87名（91%）拥有移动的电话，87名患者中有85名同意提供他们的电话号码用于研究目的。社会人口学特征对实践没有影响。
讨论
短信是一种可行的和可接受的沟通方法，用于研究目的，与年轻人参加初级保健。
BACKGROUND
Young people have led the recent rise in prevalence of text message usage, which is increasingly used in clinical settings.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the feasibility and acceptability of text message communication as a research tool in clinical research.
METHODS
One hundred and ten consecutive young patients aged 16-24 years were recruited in four general practices (one inner urban, one outer urban, one rural and one university practice) in Victoria and interviewed before the consultation. If the patients had a mobile phone, they were asked to provide their mobile phone number so that following the medical consultation they could receive a single question, via text message, about their satisfaction with the consultation.
RESULTS
Ninety-one percent of patients participated: 87 of 96 (91%) had a mobile phone and 85 of 87 agreed to provide their phone number for the purpose of research. There was no influence of practice sociodemographic characteristics.
DISCUSSION
Text messaging is a feasible and acceptable method of communication for research purposes with young people attending primary care.
