BACKGROUND: We assessed performance characteristics and impact of a mobile phone text-message intervention for reducing intra-shift @entity1295 among emergency clinician shift workers. METHODS: We used a randomized controlled trial of 100 @entity1 . All @entity1 received text-message assessments at the start, every 4   hr during, and at end of scheduled shifts over a 90-day period. Text-message queries measured self-rated @entity25 , @entity1295 , and difficulty with concentration. Additional text-messages were sent to intervention @entity1 to promote alertness. A performance measure of interest was compliance with answering text-messages. RESULTS: Ninety-nine @entity1 documented 2,621 shifts and responded to 36,073 of 40,947 text-messages (88% compliance rate). Intervention @entity1 reported @entity25 at 4   hr, 8   hr, and at the end of 12   hr shifts compared to controls (P   <   0.05). Intervention @entity1 reported better sleep quality at 90-days compared to baseline (P   =   0.01). CONCLUSIONS: We showed feasibility and short-term efficacy of a text-message based assessment and intervention tool. Am. J. Ind. Med. 58:1098-1113, 2015.    2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
