The effect of results-based motivating system on metabolic risk factors of non-communicable diseases: A field trial study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Non-communicable diseases can be controlled and managed by reducing their associated metabolic risk factors. In this study, a set of intervention packages were designed to reduce the prevalence of three common metabolic risk factors (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity and overweight) in the community by motivating non-physician health workers.

Methods

A field trial study was conducted in 4 districts of Iran. Thirty-two community health centers were randomly selected. A survey of 30 to 70-year-old was conducted to measure baseline metabolic risk factors. The intervention packages focused on improving hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity and overweight. The interventions included goal-setting, evidence-based education, operational planning, and incentive pay
