Summary

The study is a two-arm, parallel, randomized clinical trial. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of automated mobile phone text message-based intervention for secondary prevention after acute coronary syndrome hospitalization. Text messages will include information about lifestyle modifications, medication adherence and cardiovascular risk factor control. The participants will be randomized into intervention and control groups in a 1:1 ratio. The intervention group will receive 4 pre-designed and semi-personalized text messages per week in addition to usual care for 6 months, while the control group will receive usual care.

BEHAVIORAL

Mobile phone text message

The treatment group will receive the usual discharge treatment, instructions and information for acute coronary syndrome patients as well as the text-messaging intervention. The program will include a variety of topics such as standard follow-up care reminders as well as general self-management and healthy living habits texts. There will be four streams: one for patients who are non-smokers and are free of diabetes; one for current/recent smokers; one for diabetic patients; and one for smoker and diabetic patients. Texts will be sent out 4 times per week for 180 days. All participants in the same stream will receive the same texts in the same order. The usual care group will receive standard discharge treatment, instructions, and information for patients with acute coronary syndrome. They will also receive simple and short text messages related to the importance of trial participation.
