This study tests whether different types of text messages can help remind people to get their cancer screenings done on time. You’ll receive a friendly reminder message over WhatsApp, and researchers will see which message style works best for people like you.

- You are between 21 and 74 years old.
- You have a cancer screening (breast, colon, cervical, or prostate) that is overdue or not yet scheduled.
