PCC, primary content code; SCC, secondary content code. an (%) = n of care code category (percentage of care code category relative to total outgoing texts). bn (%) = n of PCC texts (percentage of PCC texts relative to total outgoing texts). cn (%) = n of SCC texts (percentage of SCC texts relative to total outgoing texts). dAll text messages were given a PCC, therefore unclear content was coded as “unknown.” SCCs were not required and thus, many text messages were not given a secondary code (ie, coded as “none”).
