Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to reduce the rate at which patients do not respond to validation letters sent by hospitals, using a redesigned letter that included "nudges" as an intervention.
  • A total of 2,855 participants were divided into a control group receiving the standard letter and an intervention group receiving the new version.
