The Claim
Monetary value, time to disbursement, disbursement method, and frequency of financial incentives are associated with completion rates of Personal Health Assessments or biometric screenings.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
The amount of money offered, how quickly it is given, how it is delivered, and how often it is provided are linked to whether people complete health assessments or biometric screenings.
See the scientific wording
Monetary value, time to disbursement, disbursement method, and frequency are associated with completion rates of Personal Health Assessments or biometric screenings, indicating that multiple design features of financial incentives collectively influence preventive health behavior.
When people receive money quickly and easily for getting a health checkup, their brain's reward system lights up, making them more likely to repeat the behavior next time.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: The Association Between Incentive Designs and Health Assessment or Biometric Screening Completion
This study found that people are much more likely to get their health checkups when they get more money, get it right away, and get it in a simple way—like a direct deposit—instead of waiting or getting a small reward. So yes, how you offer the money really affects whether people show up.
