Summary

This trial is studying the impact of different types of messages and financial incentives on getting a diverse group of people to enroll in an online study about Alzheimer's prevention. The study will work with a public hospital

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals aged 50 or older who are patients at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and its affiliated health centers. Participants must be literate in English or Spanish. The study aims to recruit a diverse group of people into an online Alzheimer's disease registry.

What is being tested?

The study is testing if sending messages with financial incentives, such as small cash rewards or prize drawings, can increase enrollment in the APT Webstudy—a remote cognitive testing program—compared to just sending messages without incentives.
