This study explored the role of subject commitment as a variable for increasing compliance rates in a university-sponsored tuberculosis (TB) detection drive. Return rates for reaction readings were compared between those subjects who had made an overt commitment to return (either a verbal or a verbal plus written agreement) and those subjects who were exposed to a standardized, no commitment procedure. Return rates under both commitment conditions significantly increased. Contrary to expectation, subjects with a known family history of TB were found to be a high-risk group for noncompliance. For this group, obtaining both verbal and written agreement from subjects appeared to be the most efficacious procedure to increase compliance.
本研究探讨了受试者承诺作为一个变量在大学主办的结核病检测活动中对提高依从率的作用。比较了那些做出公开返回承诺（口头或口头加书面协议）的受试者与那些接受标准化无承诺程序的受试者的反应读数返回率。在两种承诺条件下，返回率均显著提高。与预期相反，有结核病家族病史的受试者被发现是不依从的高风险群体。对于该群体，从受试者处获得口头和书面协议似乎是提高依从性最有效的程序。
