Brief summary
We are conducting a trial to systematically evaluate if 14-24 year old young people are more likely to complete a telephone interview if they receive a guaranteed movie ticket upon completion compared with a 1/500 chance of winning a bigger prize ie an iPod. This trial is nested within a larger randomised controlled trial (RCT) ("Health risk screening and counselling of adolescents and youth friendly practice: a cluster randomised controlled trial in primary care" - ISRCTN16059206) which is exploring the effects of a systems level intervention encouraging youth friendly practice in primary care.
Interventions
Arm 1: participants will be offered one movie ticket which will be posted upon completion of a telephone interview*.
Arm 2: participants will be offered a 1/500 chance of winning an iPod (valued at A$200 as of September 2010) upon completion of a telephone interview*. Once 500 interviews are completed, across the whole project, the iPod winner is randomly drawn and the winner is notified by telephone.
*The one-off telephone interview, conducted by research staff interviewers, is of 40-50 min

The content includes the young person's experience of the practice and the consultation, questions on their lifestyle and psycho-social health risks plus their use of other health services. Young people's interest in participation is registered at the general practices by research assistants prior to the consultation.
