The study will enroll approximately 400 households with ?1 child recruited from four contiguous communities in New York City. Households will be randomized, stratified by community 1:1 to receive surveillance-only (no text message education) vs. surveillance plus text message educational intervention. For symptom surveillance, households in both arms will receive text messages 3x/week during each influenza season and report if someone in the household has ILI symptoms. For those in the educational intervention arm, when an ILI/acute respiratory infections (ARI) is reported, a series of educational text messages will be sent with information to decrease household transmission.
