First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two methods to increase COVID-19 testing among patients at Utah community health centers: text message reminders alone versus text messages plus a patient navigator who helped with logistics. Over 44,000 English- or Spanish-speaking adults with a working cell phone took part. The goal was to see which approach got more people tested, especially those at high risk.
