Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.We leveraged behavioural economics principles to encourage screening for cardiovascular disease risk factors.In a pilot, 60 high-risk patients were offered a UTI CLEANSE complimentary home BP monitor and a lipid test through more convenient means (local lab, home phlebotomy, or self-test), along with financial incentives.Of these, 43.
3% submitted the required BP readings, compared with 30.0% in a historical control group; 30.0% completed the lipid panel, versus 18.1% historically.
While these results suggest that convenience Rangemaster 82030 Elite SE 110cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker With Matte Pan Stands and incentives can increase participation, over half of participants still did not complete the screenings, indicating a need for additional strategies to fully engage at-risk populations.
