Habit Formation for Adherence to Statin Use and LDL Reduction
May 18, 2020 updated by: University of Pennsylvania
Testing Behavioral Economic Interventions to Improve Statin Use and Reduce CVD Risk
In a 4-arm, Randomized Control Trial among members of CVS Caremark or Penn Medicine Patients with suboptimal cholesterol control who are at high risk for CVD, the study investigators propose to test the effectiveness of different behavioral economic techniques in inducing habit formation for adherence to statin use and sustained reductions in LDL cholesterol after financial incentives are discontinued.
Primary outcome is changes in LDL from enrollment to 12 months (6 months after cessation of financial incentives).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Control Arm
Arm 1 will be the Control arm, in which participants receive an electronic pill container and are provided with daily reminders to take their medication but are not enrolled in the sweepstakes.
|
|
Experimental: Sweepstakes Incentive 1
Arm 2 will be a sweepstakes incentive arm where participants receive an electronic pill container and daily reminders to take their medication.
In addition, this group is enrolled in a sweepstakes, in which participants may win money if they remember to take their medication.
|
Daily sweepstake conditional on daily medication adherence
|
Experimental: Sweepstake Incentive 2
Arm 3 will be a sweepstake incentive arm where participants receive an electronic pill container and daily reminders to take their medication.
In addition, this group is enrolled in a sweepstakes, in which monetary prizes may be awarded if participants take their medication prior to receiving a reminder.

Experimental: Sweepstake Incentive 3
Arm 4 will be a sweepstake incentive arm where participants receive an electronic pill container and daily reminders to take their medication.
In addition, this group is enrolled in a sweepstakes, in which each participant maintains an account that will accumulate money based on their medication adherence throughout the study.
