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