Abstract:
:This study explored the role of subject commitment as a variable for increasing compliance rates in a university-sponsored tuberculosis (TB) detection drive. Return rates for reaction readings were compared between those subjects who had made an overt commitment to return (either a verbal or a verbal plus written agreement) and those subjects who were exposed to a standardized, no commitment procedure. Return rates under both commitment conditions significantly increased. Contrary to expectation, subjects with a known family history of TB were found to be a high-risk group for noncompliance. For this group, obtaining both verbal and written agreement from subjects appeared to be the most efficacious procedure to increase compliance.
