Materials and methods: Quasi-experimental intervention, before and after; In which patients from an outpatient chronic disease program were interviewed and asked to complete the Martín-Bayarre-Grau questionnaire to determine their adherence to antihypertensive treatment before and after the intervention. Results: A bivariate analysis was performed, comparing the variable adherence to treatment before and after the intervention of the four study groups; Only one significant difference was found in the group to which 8 messages per month were sent (p = 0.011). The groups submitted to intervention versus the control group were also compared after 3 months, with a significant difference in the group to which 8 messages per month were sent (p = 0.022).
