We will measure the employee biometric screening completion rates for each arm of the study.
up to 6 months
Study Arms (3)
Control Arm
EXPERIMENTALThe control arm will be informed via e-mail of the window of dates during which they can take part in the on-site screening and will be given instructions for scheduling an appointment.
Active Choice and Default Option Arm
EXPERIMENTALThe active choice and default option arm will be informed via e-mail of a preselected time and date for their screening, which we will have generated randomly. This group will be asked to accept the default time, schedule a different time, defer the scheduling decision, or decline to receive a screening by clicking the appropriate option in the email.
Active Choice Only Arm
EXPERIMENTALThe active choice only arm will be given the same information as the control group, but they will also be asked to make an appointment immediately, defer the scheduling decision, or decline to receive a screening.
