Texts vs. emails: finding the best way to ask epilepsy patients about their mental health

This study tested four different ways to send mental health screening questionnaires to adults with epilepsy before their doctor's appointments. Researchers wanted to see if sending the questionnaires by text message, email, or through an online patient portal (with or without a reminder) would get more people to complete them. The goal is to find the easiest and most effective method to help doctors regularly check for anxiety and depression in their epilepsy patients.
