Intervention (Public)
|
Before
The study will be implemented via an online platform, employing a survey experiment methodology. The information intervention protocol comprises five distinct groups, stratified as follows:
A control group, which will receive a neutral treatment consisting solely of a basic introduction to CKD, without additional interventional information.
A health hazard group, which will be exposed to emphatic representations of CKD-related dangers, utilizing striking visual imagery and vivid description.
A time cost group, which will be presented with information emphasizing the time investment required for seeking medical care.
A conformity group, which will be informed about the high participation rates of their peers, leveraging social proof as a motivational factor.
An information avoidance group, which will be educated on the potential perils associated with evading disease-related information.
Subsequent to the intervention, participants will be afforded the opportunity to opt for the mailing of a test kit to their residential address, with the expectation of completing the ensuing diagnostic procedure. This experimental design allows for a comprehensive assessment of the relative efficacy of each educational strategy in promoting proactive health behaviors related to CKD screening and monitoring.

Subsequent to the intervention, participants will be afforded the opportunity to opt for the mailing of a test kit to their residential address, with the expectation of completing the ensuing diagnostic procedure. The questions on willingness to accept and the willingness to pay will be answered by the individuals considering on themselves and other people in their life. these two pairs of questions will be asked in random order. This experimental design allows for a comprehensive assessment of the relative efficacy of each educational strategy in promoting proactive health behaviors related to CKD screening and monitoring.

Primary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before
Short term effect:
number of people opt for mailing the urinary protein test kit; number of individuals completing the questionnaire; number of individuals who undergo a urinary protein test
Long term effect:
repeated urinary protein test; changes in behavior and attitude towards CKD, the ratio of people monitoring
|
After
Short term effect:
willingness to pay for the urinary kit for themselves or others, number of people opt for mailing the urinary protein test kit, the target people for this test kit; number of individuals completing the questionnaire; number of individuals who undergo a urinary protein test.
Long term effect:
repeated urinary protein test; changes in behavior and attitude towards CKD, the ratio of people monitoring
