Acceptability, feasibility and preliminary impact evaluation of a pilot text-message study on improving the health of Aboriginal people with, or at risk of, chronic disease in Australia.

No other self‐report lifestyle behaviours showed significant outcomes; however, a positive trend for improvement was seen for consumption of fruit, sugary drinks, reduced alcohol and increased physical activity (Table 2 ) and smoking rates reduced by around half at 3 (4/18, 22%) and 6 months (3/18, 17%). 4 DISCUSSION This is one of the first Australian studies to examine the acceptability, feasibility and preliminary impact of a healthy lifestyle text‐message intervention delivered within existing community‐led Aboriginal health group programs.
