We asked participants to approve or disapprove of messaging according to ease of understanding by raising the paddle when each text message was projected and read aloud. We discussed messages that received “No” votes.
Following the completion of focus groups 4‐5, we excluded text messages not well-received by participants (not relevant, tone did not resonate).

Adolescent Emoji Use in Text-Based Messaging: Focus Group Study
Adolescent communication is increasingly mediated by text-based communication platforms like SMS or social media messaging. About 95% of US adolescents aged 13‐17 years have a smartphone for personal use [1], and adolescents in this age group send and receive an average of 67 text messages each day [2]. Text messaging is now the dominant mode of communication between adolescents [2] and is increasingly important to adolescents’ relationships with parents and other adults [3].

As health care organizations implement secure messaging software to modernize communication among clinicians and address the shortcomings of pagers, a growing body of literature has described patterns in secure messaging transactions [1,2]. Small et al [3,4] describe an uneven burden of secure messaging on medicine providers, while qualitative analysis reveals clinicians’ concerns with alert fatigue from digital communication.

However, a meta-analysis on the maintenance effect of SMS text messaging–based interventions found that even after the intervention ends, there is a significant maintenance effect [4]. Furthermore, in the postpartum period, there have been mixed findings as to which type of interventions can maintain behavior change in maternal physical and mental health outcomes [7,8].

In resource-limited settings, text messaging and app-based interventions were acceptable reminders [50], with some successfully increasing triage attendance [51,52] and others reducing psychosocial barriers to recommended follow-up [53-55]. However, many interventions have been developed outside of the United States and use one-way text messages to deliver cervical cancer screening results, which have not improved follow-up [54,55].

Don’t Forget the Humble Text Message: 25 Years of Text Messaging in Health
Text messaging has been used to support or deliver health services and programs for approximately 25 years [5]. Early research agendas included testing the use of text messaging to communicate health information, such as coordination of health professionals’ schedules, patient appointment reminders, delivery of patient test results, and monitoring of posttreatment side effects [6].

In addition, SMS text messaging may assist in collecting data on stigmatized topics, with some evidence suggesting that participants are more likely to disclose issues, such as mental health and substance use information, when asked by non–paper-based methods (eg, SMS text message and internet surveys), rather than face-to-face interviews [10,11].
Surveys of patients in primary care often have low response rates, and this rate is even lower among disadvantaged groups [12].

Youth have identified SMS text messaging as a preferred communication tool for support during the transition to adult services generally [19]. Text messaging, also known as short-messaging service (SMS), is among the most frequently used technologies for low-intensity behavioral health interventions that focus on promoting positive actions linked to healthy outcomes [20].

Of the included studies, 5 assessed text messaging as an adjunct to usual care on treatment adherence and found improvements favoring text messaging [29-33]. In a further 5 RCTs, the effectiveness of text messaging as 1 component of a complex intervention was assessed [34-38], finding small but inconsistent effects on pain, functioning, adherence, and quality of life. In 1 RCT, text messaging was compared to telephone counseling, and similar effects on functioning were reported [39].
