Acceptability, feasibility and preliminary impact evaluation of a pilot text-message study on improving the health of Aboriginal people with, or at risk of, chronic disease in Australia.

The text-message program was highly acceptable and feasible to deliver, and has potential as an adjunct to usual care. Further research is required to determine program efficacy with a larger sample size. SO WHAT?: Text-messages to improve the health of Aboriginal people are highly acceptable, feasible to deliver and can complement existing community-led group programs. Further testing of this low-cost program is warranted to determine program efficacy.
