CVS Caremark Behavioral Change Research Partnership Presents Ongoing Research at Center for Disease Control Symposium
Date:8/18/2010

WOONSOCKET, R.I., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- CVS Caremark (NYSE: CVS) today said that preliminary findings from ongoing research about how consumers make health care choices shows that if a consumer is proactively presented with a decision to select automatic versus manual refills before they fill a prescription, they are twice as likely to choose the automatic option than those who are asked after receiving the prescription.

"One of our preliminary findings looking at consumers on the Web shows that if we reach out and present a decision to choose automatic refill in advance of renewing a prescription, they sign up at twice the rate of those who were passively presented an opt-in choice after receiving a prescription."

The BCRP is calling the proactive test "Active Choice." CVS Caremark is testing Active Choice in four communication cha
