Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an automated electronic reminder system using text messages sent to patient's cell phones will help patients with acne be more compliant with their topical medications and lead to an improvement of their acne. Hypothesis: Automatically delivered electronic reminders in the form of text messages will increase acne patient adherence to topical medications and consequently result in better treatment outcome and higher patient satisfaction
Primary Outcome
The primary goal of the study is to determine whether automated text messages produce increased adherence with medication use in the Reminder group compared to the Control group over the 12 week study duration. Overall adherence will be calculated as the total number of doses applied (recorded cap opening/closing events) divided by the total number of expected doses applied (twice daily cap opening/closing events) based on the prescribed treatment regimen.
