Food Allergy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Using Text Messaging and Financial Incentives to Encourage Allergic Young Adults to Carry Epinephrine
Fifteen million Americans suffer from food allergies. Food allergies can be life threatening; the only known life-saving treatment is epinephrine. Adolescents/young adults are at increased risk of adverse events, because of increased risk-taking with food and decreased likelihood of carrying epinephrine. This is a pilot randomized trial to test text message reminders, with and without financial incentives, to encourage allergic young adults to carry epinephrine.
Aim: We pilot tested a novel strategy to encourage young adults with food allergies to carry
their epinephrine auto-injectors. Adolescents/young adults are at increased risk of adverse
events, because of increased risk-taking with food and decreased likelihood of carrying
epinephrine.
Study design: This is a pilot randomized controlled trial, with a survey component. Text
messaging is the mode of communication and inquiry with study participants.
Hypothesis: The intervention group, which will receive modest financial incentives for
carrying epinephrine, will be more likely to demonstrate that they are carrying their
epinephrine, when queried by the study team.
This study employs text messaging, along with photography, as a mode of momentary ecologic
assessment, or real-time measurement of epinephrine carrying. In addition, text messaging was
used as a mode of asking questions regarding food allergy knowledge and beliefs among young
adults. Text messages were sent from a designated telephone (and telephone number) purchased
for use in this study. We used text messaging for reminder messages, text responses, and for
the participants to send photographs back to us. We converted text message data (participants
responses) into a RedCap database. Our research coordinator sent and received the text
messages and compiled a secure RedCap database of responses.
