The Urological and Renal disease Engaging Adolescents in Adherence Collaborative Trial (U-REAACT) is a randomized controlled trial designed to improve treatment adherence for adolescents and young adults (AYA) with kidney transplants and those with spina bifida, who must interrupt their daily lives frequently to take medicines or self-catheterize. This study aims to test an innovative strategy to help them improve their treatment adherence, using mobile phone-based technologies with text reminders, tailored feedback, education, and financial incentives. This research is highly relevant to public health as it targets improving health outcomes through engaging AYA with smartphones and could, if proven effective, be easily catered to other chronic disease populations
