The Efficacy of Direct Mail, Patient Navigation, and Incentives for Increasing Mammography and Colonoscopy in the Medicaid Population: A Randomized Controlled Trial
TL;DR: This population-based intervention increased breast cancer and colorectal cancer screening in a Medicaid population overdue for screening and may have broad application for reaching individuals who generally remain outside the health care system despite having public health insurance.

Interpersonal Communication and Smoking Cessation in the Context of an Incentive-Based Program: Survey Evidence From a Telehealth Intervention in a Low-Income Population.

Journal ArticleDOI
Connecting low-income smokers to tobacco treatment services
