海地历史上每年为10万至30万只狗接种狂犬病疫苗，但国家当局未能达到并保持消除犬狂犬病病毒变体所需的70%覆盖率。海地每年都开展大规模的狗疫苗接种运动，并采用中心点和挨家挨户的方法。这些方法要求狗主人知道活动的日期和地点。为了提高狗主人的这一意识，向海地两个社区（戈纳伊夫和圣马克）的手机发送了60万条短信，提醒狗主人参加这一活动。在活动的第二天和中间点发送了短信。运动后进行了家庭调查，以评估狗主人对短信的看法及其对他们参与疫苗接种运动的影响。总体而言，160名收到短信的狗主人中有147名（91.9%）表示短信有帮助，187名回应狗主人中有162名（86.6%）表示他们希望在未来的狂犬病疫苗接种活动中收到短信提醒。在举办为期一天的中心点活动的地区，收到短信的狗主人参加活动的可能性是其他人的2.0倍（95% CI 1.1，3，6）（收到短信的人中有73.1%的人参加了活动，而没有收到短信的人中有36.4%的人参加了活动）。在几天内挨家挨户接种疫苗的地区，接受和未接受文本的狗主人之间的参与没有显着差异。短信提醒很受欢迎，并显着提高了运动的出席率，表明短消息服务（SMS）警报可能是一个成功的战略，在低资源地区与大量的自由漫游狗人口。(C)2018作者爱思唯尔有限公司出版
Haiti has historically vaccinated between 100,000 and 300,000 dogs annually against rabies, however national authorities have not been able to reach and maintain the 70% coverage required to eliminate the canine rabies virus variant. Haiti conducts massive dog vaccination campaigns on an annual basis and utilizes both central point and door-to-door methods. These methods require that dog owners are aware of the dates and locations of the campaign. To improve this awareness among dog owners, 600,000 text messages were sent to phones in two Haitian communes (Gonaives and Saint-Marc) to remind dog owners to attend the campaign. Text messages were delivered on the second day and at the mid-point of the campaign. A post-campaign household survey was conducted to assess dog owner's perception of the text messages and the impact on their participation in the vaccination campaign. Overall, 147 of 160 (91.9%) text-receiving dog owners indicated the text was helpful, and 162 of 187 (86.6%) responding dog owners said they would like to receive text reminders during future rabies vaccination campaigns. In areas hosting one-day central point campaigns, dog owners who received the text were 2.0 (95% CI 1.1, 3,6) times more likely to have participated in the campaign (73.1% attendance among those who received the text vs 36.4% among those who did not). In areas incorporating door-to-door vaccination over multiple days there was no significant difference in participation between dog owners who did and did not receive a text. Text message reminders were well-received and significantly improved campaign attendance, indicating that short message service (SMS) alerts may be a successful strategy in low resource areas with large free roaming dog populations.
