Before
Across all arms, eligible individuals will be given basic information about CVDs, personalized information about their risk factors, and a voucher for a free preventive check-up for CVDs, including a blood test and a medical consultation.
The voucher will come with varying benefits depending on the treatment arm to which individuals are randomly assigned:
1. Individual incentive: all individuals who do the preventive check-up receive a small monetary payment.
2. Risk-based incentive: individuals who do the check-up receive a monetary payment which is determined by the outcome of the check-up: if they are found to suffer from a low, medium or high risk of developing a CVD, they respectively receive a low, medium or high payment. While neither the individuals nor the healthcare providers know this risk ex-ante, individuals know whether they have some or many of the risk factors associated with increased risk level.
3. Control. Individuals who do the check-up receive do not receive any additional benefit.

The voucher will come with varying benefits depending on the treatment arm to which individuals are randomly assigned:
1. Individual 'universal' incentive: all individuals who do the preventive check-up receive a small monetary payment.
2. Risk-based incentive: individuals who do the check-up receive a monetary payment which is determined by the outcome of the check-up: if they are found to suffer from a low, medium or high risk of developing a CVD, they respectively receive a low, medium or high payment.
