The future of incentives as a lever to increase HIV testing in the workplace : evidence from a field experiment

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Voluntary HIV testing in the workplace was offered to two groups of employees; in one case informing about a reward offered for voluntary testing and in the other case not.Both groups were asked to complete a questionnaire before the testing. The study's hypothesis was that incentives significantly increase employees' willingness to participate in on-site voluntary counselling and testing.A t-test for significance of difference between both groups' means was done and results indicate that the offer of incentives significantly increases the uptake of voluntary testing in the workplace.Advantages of these results are discussed in this thesis.
