Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Patients Attending Screening Appointment — 34; 17; 10 Participants
Summary
This trial is a randomised controlled trial to assess whether annual attendance rates at diabetic eye screening appointments in Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster could be improved by offering invitees a small financial incentive. The research questions are:
1. Are incentives an effective strategy to encourage participation in the screening programme?
2. Does the design of the financial incentive scheme affect its effectiveness in influencing participation in health screening?
3. Does the choice of incentive scheme, if successful, attract patients who have a different demographic or socioeconomic status to those who attend screening regularly?
4. Is offering these incentives a cost-effective strategy for enhancing participation?
