Patients' willingness to accept social needs navigation after in-person versus remote screening.
The authors conducted a cross-sectional study in order to assess possible adverse effects of screening patients remotely on patient engagement and interest in accepting social needs navigation. Participants were Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries in the Oregon Accountable Health Communities (AHC) model. The results indicated that over 70% of participants were willing to accept help with social needs; neither the mode of screening nor interaction term were significantly associated with willingness to accept navigation assistance. The authors concluded remote screening may not adversely affect patient willingness to accept health care-based navigation for social needs.

Feasibility and acceptability of a text message-based intervention to reduce overuse of alcohol in emergency department patients: controlled proof-of-concept trial.
The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of and patient satisfaction with a text-based mHealth extension of an emergency department (ED) screening program to reduce risky alcohol use in low-income, urban patients. A case-control study was designed using a SMS text message-capable phones to receive mROAD (mobilizing to Reduce Overuse of Alcohol in the ED), an SMS text message-based extension of the ED screening program. mROAD is a 7-day program of twice-daily SMS text messages based on the NIH Health Rethinking Drinking campaign. Of 1028 patients screened, 9.2% exhibited risky alcohol use based on the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) in the ED. Almost a quarter of the patients did not have an SMS text-messaging capable phone, leaving 76% eligible patients. Changes in behavior were similar between the two groups. The number of drinking days reported in the prior 30 days decreased by 5 and the number of heavy drinking days decreased by 4.1. Patients reported an 11-point increase in motivation to change alcohol use via the Change Questionnaire.
