Improving Fecal Occult Blood Test Completion Rates Among Veterans
23 de octubre de 2015 actualizado por: Steven C. Marcus, PhD, Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center
This is a 4-arm cluster randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether patient financial incentives directly integrated into primary care can improve fecal occult blood test (FOBT) completion rates.
We will recruit primary care patients at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center (PVAMC) in 2 stages.
In stage 1, we hypothesize that, compared to usual care, $5, $10, $20 incentives will each lead to a statistically significant increase in the rate of FOBT completion.
We also hypothesize that there will be a direct dose-response relationship between the incentive amount and rates of FOBT completion.
In stage 2, we hypothesize that a lottery-based incentive and a raffle-based incentive will both lead to a statistically significant increase in the rate of FOBT completion compared to a fixed payment incentive with an equivalent dollar per patient value.

Sin intervención: Stage 1 Control Group
In the FOBT kit, individuals will receive a card that asks them to complete and return their FOBT kit within 30 days.
|
|
|
Experimental: $5 Incentive
In the FOBT kit, individuals will receive a card that states that if they complete and return their FOBT kit within 30 days, they will be mailed a voucher that can be exchanged for $5 at PVAMC.

Patients who are prescribed an FOBT kit in one of the PVAMC Primary Care clinics (i.e., Module B or C) will be randomly assigned by day to one of 4 study arms.
All FOBT kits will include a card with a description of the arm that the patient has been randomized to.
|

Experimental: $10 Incentive
In the FOBT kit, individuals will receive a card that states that if they complete and return their FOBT kit within 30 days, they will be mailed a voucher that can be exchanged for $10 at PVAMC.

The exact dollar amounts for the Voucher-Based Incentive, Lottery-Based Incentive, and Raffle-Based Incentive arms will be based on the results of Stage 1.

Experimental: $50 Lottery-Based Incentive
In the FOBT kit, individuals will receive a card that states that if they complete and return their FOBT kit within 30 days, they will have a 1 in 10 chance of being mailed a voucher that can be exchanged for $50 at PVAMC.

FOBT completion rate among previously non-adherent patients and FOBT kit return time by arm

There are 2 secondary outcomes.
First, we will compare time to FOBT kit return by arm.
Second, we will compare 30 day FOBT completion rates among previously non-adherent patients (i.e., individuals who had failed to complete a prescribed FOBT kit in the year prior to the start of the study) by arm.
