Summary

Gastric cancer, also known as stomach cancer, is a serious disease that affects the stomach. It's one of the most common types of cancer, and sadly, many people die from it each year. But there's hope! We can catch gastric cancer early with a special test called endoscopy. This test helps doctors find cancer or pre-cancerous changes in the stomach early, when it's easier to treat. However, not enough people get this test, especially in places where healthcare isn't easily available. That's why we're doing this study.

We want to find out if we can encourage more people to get the endoscopy test for gastric cancer. We're going to try two different ways to encourage people to get the test. First, we'll give some people money or other incentives to help cover the costs of getting the test. Second, we'll give others information and support to help them understand why the test is important and how it can help them.

We'll be doing this study in two provinces in China, where gastric cancer is a big problem. We'll ask thousands of people to join the study, and we'll randomly assign them to one of the two groups. Then, we'll see if more people in one group get the endoscopy test compared to the other group.

Our hope is that by finding out what works best, we can help more people catch gastric cancer early and get the treatment they need. This could save many lives and make a big difference in fighting this disease.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Financial Incentives

In the financial incentive group, participants will receive reimbursement for transportation, accommodation, and food costs, along with RMB 200 (about 30 US dollar) to compensate for potential income loss due to endoscopy, provided they undergo the endoscopy.

OTHER

Motivational Intervention

For the motivational intervention group, researchers will provide detailed information about the social norms surrounding endoscopy screening, including the prevalence of screening participation, the potential risks of gastric cancer, and the health benefits of screening.

OTHER

Mixed Intervention

Participants in the mixed intervention group will receive both financial incentives and motivational intervention.
