What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the extent to which different modes of contacting parents who have not yet enabled to access to their children's medical records will result in greater proxy access. The main questions the study aims to answer are:* will outreach via text or patient portal message result in more parents having access than usual care (which is in-office suggestions to get access).* which mode - text or portal - will get more parents access. Participants will get a text message, or a portal message through their own patient portal, or no message. The investigators will check access to see which group has increased more during the study period.
