increase engagement with the targeted health behavior
reminder mailing to ask his or her 4-9 year-old child to color on the reminder could
increase engagement with the targeted health behavior
The investigators will randomly assign some individuals with 4-9 year old children to
receive colorful reminders to engage in a given health behavior. Others will receive
identical reminders along with a prompt to share the reminder sheet with their child so it
can be turned into a piece of art. The investigators are interested in whether the coloring
prompt will lead the reminder to stay in the home for longer, be placed on the refrigerator,
etc. and thus result in an increase in compliance with the recommended health behavior.
