Can a nudge get you to join a study?
NCT ID NCT06857903
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether using behavioral nudges—like gentle reminders or small incentives—in recruitment materials can encourage more healthy adults to sign up for a simple interview study. About 120 volunteers will be randomly assigned to receive either standard recruitment materials or materials with nudges. The goal is to see if nudges boost participation rates.
