Sustaining the Reach of a Scalable Weight Loss Intervention Through Financial Incentives

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Overweight and Obesity

In brief

This study seeks to assess how different incentive strategies may reduce the initial attrition gap when implementing weight management in a primary care clinic predominantly serving African American patients. This will be done through an innovative research-practice partnership involving primary care, research expertise, and a small business. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four financial incentive conditions respectively tied to: weight loss, weigh-ins, weigh-ins and weight-loss, and incentive choice. Participants will be followed for 3 and 6 months to assess program reach, sustaining the reach after initial weigh-in, and weight loss outcomes based on records on participant enrollment and subsequent weigh-ins automatically collected through a kiosk at the clinic.
