Medicaid Incentives for the Prevention of Chronic Diseases: Diabetes Prevention

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Prevention

In brief

The relative effectiveness of incentives based on process (e.g. medication adherence) vs. outcome (improvements in blood pressure) is unknown, leading to the key research question: Which approach is more effective? The incentive structure for this initiative is based on best practices in the use of process and outcome measures to address this fundamental question. A series of incentive designs will be conducted to examine the relative effectiveness of equivalent value incentives based on process (e.g. attending smoking cessation counseling sessions), outcomes (e.g. quitting smoking), or a combination of process and outcomes incentives (e.g. attending smoking cessation counseling sessions and quitting smoking). This will also provide an overarching framework for assessing the relative importance of process versus outcome incentives in different contexts and for different populations.
