    Community health programs can get incentives from local merchants. Rural businesses and restaurants were more likely to donate, with telemarketing being the most cost-effective solicitation method for these health promotion efforts.

    Area of Science:

    • Community Health
    • Health Promotion Programs
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Community health programs often use incentives to boost participation and reward healthy behaviors.
    • Engaging local merchants for incentives can reduce program costs and foster community involvement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of different solicitation methods for procuring merchant incentives.
    • To analyze how business type and urban development level impact incentive procurement rates.

    Main Methods:

    • Solicited 218 merchants for incentives for two community health programs.
    • Compared procurement rates based on solicitation method (telemarketing, face-to-face), business type, and setting (rural, urban, developing urban).

    Main Results:
