Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Using random digit dialing sampling techniques, the study randomized RDD participants to one of three airtime incentive timings, some of all of that incentive being contingent on their completing the noncommunicable disease risk factor survey. This mobile phone survey was sent as an interactive voice response (IVR). In IVR surveys, participants use their touch tone key pad to answer pre-recorded questions. (i.e. If you are male, press 1; if you are female, press 2). This study was conducted in both Bangladesh and Uganda.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants were randomized to one of three airtime incentive timings: 1) no incentive; 2) 0.1X incentive received before the IVR noncommunicable disease risk factor survey is sent, followed by 1X incentive upon completing the survey; or 3) 1X incentive received upon completing the survey.
