Text4baby于2010年推出，旨在通过使用短信促进健康怀孕和婴儿。本研究的主要目的是评估与text4baby注册过程和接受相关的因素。一项前瞻性队列研究于2010年4月至2011年7月在亚特兰大的两个妇女、婴儿和儿童诊所进行。随机选择孕妇和产后妇女（n = 468）询问手机使用情况，并指导她们注册text4baby。在一周随访时评估自我登记问题（n = 3551, 75.0%），在两个月随访时评估信息接收和阅读模式（n = 209, 44.7%）。42%的女性受过大学教育，82%的家庭收入为2万美元)，而在生活在较小家庭的女性中（77%的家庭成员为1-3人，58%的家庭成员为3人）（均p < 0.001）。在最后随访的209名参与者中，bbbb90 %的人报告不间断地接收和定期阅读信息，88%的人计划继续使用text4baby。结果还表明，年龄较小（< 26岁）、受教育程度较低、健康知识技能较低的受访者更有可能中断信息。尽管在服务水平低下的人群中，人们对“text4baby”项目非常感兴趣，但仍需要有创新的方法来帮助处于明显劣势的女性注册并接收不间断的信息。
Text4baby was launched in 2010 to promote healthy pregnancies and babies by the use of text messaging. The primary objective of this study was to assess factors related to the enrollment process and reception of text4baby. A prospective cohort study was conducted in two Women, Infant and Children clinics in Atlanta (April 2010-July 2011). Randomly selected pregnant and postpartum women (n = 468) were queried on cell phone use and instructed on text4baby enrollment. Self-enrollment issues were assessed at one-week follow-up (n = 351, 75.0 %), and message reception and reading patterns at two-month follow-up (n = 209, 44.7 %). Forty-two percent of the women had some college education and 82 % had household income $20,000), and among women living in smaller households (77 % 1-3 members vs. 58 % > 3 members) (all p < 0.001). Among the 209 participants in the final follow-up contact, > 90 % reported uninterrupted reception and regular reading of messages, and 88 % planned to continue using text4baby. Results also suggested that respondents who were younger (< 26 year), less educated and had lower health literacy skills were more likely to have interrupted messages. Despite substantial interest in the text4baby program in an underserved population, innovative ways to help women with significant disadvantages enroll and receive uninterrupted messages are needed.
