Summary
This study looked at different ways to help families whose children missed a scheduled well-child checkup. Over 3,800 families were randomly assigned to receive either a simple text reminder, a call from a community health worker, or no special follow-up (usual care). The goal was to see which approach worked best to get children back in for their appointment and to understand the costs involved.
