title: Using incentives to promote workers' participation in worksite research.
abstract: We designed this study to examine the effects of two types of incentives on the participation rate of workers from two plants in worksite research. There were 186 workers in the study, some of whom received chances for savings bonds. Given reductions in funding and concerns of management, no comparison could be made between the incentives; however, the study provided valuable information regarding planning for incentives in worksite research.
