Study Summary
Adherence to treatment recommendation remains low among acupuncture patients. This study aims to examine whether implementing a post-initial visit follow-up strategy can improve adherence rate. Adult patients visiting the acupuncture clinic for a new treatment will be randomized to receive a telephone call or a text-message three days after their initial visit against a control group. We will enroll up to 160 participants between February and December 2017, to ensure we can reach 120 subjects in the analysis who completed the baseline survey. Participants recruitment will take place at the Emperor's College of Traditional Oriental Medicine Acupuncture Clinic. Assessments will be conducted via surveys at four times points, Day 0 (date of enrollment), Day 3, Day 10 and Day 30. Additional data will also be collected via chart review. Primary outcome will be assessing whether participants return for any follow-up visit within 30 days after the initial treatment. Secondary outcomes will examine if factors such as expectations, intention, satisfaction, and potential barriers would predict the primary outcome.
