Article Abstract
Background: Self-guided Internet-delivered interventions may serve as an accessible and flexible non-pharmacological treatment supplement for adults with ADHD. However, these interventions are challenged by low adherence.
Objective: To examine whether weekly SMS reminders improve adherence to a self-guided Internet-delivered intervention for adults with ADHD.
Method: The study used a multiple randomized trial design where the participants who had not completed their weekly module within 2 days were randomized to either receive or not receive an SMS reminder. The primary outcome was adherence, defined as module completion, logins, time spent on intervention, and self-reported practice of coping strategies.
Results: A total of 109 adults with a self-reported ADHD diagnosis were included in the study. The results showed that SMS reminders were associated with an increased likelihood of login within 48 h during the second module of the intervention, but not for the remaining modules. Moreover, receiving an SMS reminder was associated spending more time on the modules and faster login time in module three and five, specifically. However, the overall results did not show an effect of SMS reminders on module completion, number of logins or practice of coping strategies.
Conclusion: The results showed that SMS reminders do not improve number of logins, module completion rates or practice of coping strategies, but they may lead to faster login time and more time spent on the modules. To utilize the potential of self-guided Internet-delivered intervention in making non-pharmacological accessible for adults with ADHD, new methods to facilitate meaningful engagement should be developed and tested.

Introduction: As part of the transition from opportunistic cytology-based screening to an organized, population-based HPV screening program, Catalonia, Spain, launched an implementation pilot in 2021.
Methods: The pilot combined home-based HPV self-sampling with pharmacy-based distribution, coordinated by a screening office using an SMS-based invitation and reminder system, alongside structured follow-up of HPV-positive cases by midwives.
Results: From July 2021 to December 2023, 6,355 women seeking cervical cancer screening were invited to participate in HPV self-sampling via SMS, with high participation (80.
Optimizing and Testing an Individualized and Adaptive Physical Activity Digital Health Intervention: Protocol for a Control Optimization Trial Embedded Within a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: While effective physical activity (PA) interventions exist, interventions often work only for some individuals or only for a limited time. Thus, there is a need for digital health interventions that account for dynamic, idiosyncratic PA determinants to support each person's PA. We hypothesize that supporting individuals with their personal PA goals requires a personalized intervention that both supports each person in forming daily habits of walking more and develops personalized knowledge, skills, and practices regarding engaging in exercise routines.
