Participants will interact with an ED-based iPad and the Dr. Eric app for a recorded period of time. After completion, an animated video will explain the ERIC texting program and "live" office hours. The participant enters his phone number and then receives a welcome text. Weekly texts are sent directly to the participant phone via short message service (SMS).
Group II: Standard of CareActive Control1 Intervention
Participants randomized to the SC arm will receive standard medical care as determined by the ED provider, which is typically referral to a primary care or adolescent provider. Mobile telephone numbers will be collected for follow up purposes.
