Positive patient experiences are associated with better health outcomes.

Process evaluation of participants and program facilitators determined program acceptability and feasibility. Results: Twenty Aboriginal people enrolled in the study, with high study completion and program acceptability. The two program facilitators reported the low-cost automated text-message program to be highly acceptable, feasible to deliver and led to environmental program changes. Preliminary ....
