An EHR-integrated Texting Platform to Promote Self-management in Women With Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a texting platform to usual care for managing recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI). The main question it aims to answer is: • can a texting platform that integrates symptom triage and prevention education reduce the rate of unnecessary antibiotics for recurrent UTIs as compared to usual care? Participants enrolled onto the texting platform will: • receive evidence-based clinical guidance for the management of symptoms of UTI and receive educational videos on how to prevent UTIs. An important secondary outcome is to determine if the texting platform improves self-efficacy for the management of recurrent UTI.
