  • Congratulations for the whole team and nice presentation Emily!! Really nice work. I would like to know if the text messages were developed considering the individuality of each participant? As messages were automated, I assume it was the same messages to all participants. Do you think this could be one of the reasons some of them felt like “common sense” suggestions?

    • Hi Ariany. Thanks for looking and for your comments! The messages were not personalized or tailored to participants except on two occasions where texts were tailored to participants’ reported smoking status. I do think that could definitely contribute to the ‘common sense’ sentiment and believe it would be worthwhile to explore how to tailor messages to individual participants’ needs. Thanks again!
