Laurie T. Martin,Joie D. Acosta,Teague Ruder,Matthias Schonlau,Allen Fremont

Assesses whether a one-time $15 patient financial incentive, along with educational materials, would be effective in motivating people with hypertension (HTN) to see their personal physician, compared with educational materials only or no intervention; whether patient incentives and educational materials are differentially effective across racial/ethnic groups in motivating physician visits and improving blood pressure control; and whether these effects lead to a reduction in racial/ethnic disparities in HTN.
