OBJECTIVES
The objective of this study was to determine racial and ethnic minority patient receptiveness to health reminders, and preferences for media channels and messengers for preventive health reminders.
METHODS
A pen and paper survey was administered to patients in the waiting room of a publicly funded clinic serving predominately racial and ethnic minorities.
RESULTS
Three-fourths of participants said they would like to receive health reminders. The top three preferred methods of receiving health reminders were via text message, phone call, and letter by mail. About half of participants wanted their doctor or nurse to send them the health reminder.
CONCLUSIONS
Health reminders could be a tool to successfully encourage racial and ethnic minority patients to participate in their own health. If physicians or nurses use a cell phone text message, a phone call, or a letter to send these health reminders they may be particularly effective at improving patient health outcomes.
目的
本研究的目的是确定少数族裔患者对健康提醒的接受程度，以及对预防性健康提醒的媒体渠道和传递方式的偏好。
方法
对一家主要服务少数族裔的公立诊所候诊室的患者进行了纸笔调查。
结果
四分之三的参与者表示他们愿意接收健康提醒。接收健康提醒的前三种首选方式是通过短信、电话和邮寄信件。约一半的参与者希望他们的医生或护士给他们发送健康提醒。
结论
健康提醒可能是成功鼓励少数族裔患者参与自身健康管理的一种工具。如果医生或护士使用手机短信、电话或信件来发送这些健康提醒，可能对改善患者健康状况特别有效。
