Development of a text message-based intervention for follow-up colposcopy among predominately underserved Black and Hispanic/Latinx women.

The findings suggest that underserved Black and Hispanic/Latinx women experience cognitive and emotional barriers that undermine their ability to obtain follow-up care and a text message-based intervention may help women overcome these barriers. Future research should develop and evaluate text message-based interventions to enhance follow-up after an abnormal Pap test.
