Process Versus Outcomes Incentives for Lipid Management
February 25, 2019 updated by: University of Pennsylvania
Comparative Effectiveness of Process and Outcomes Incentives for Lipid Management
In a 4-arm, randomized controlled trial, we will evaluate the relative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of improving cholesterol levels among participants who are at high risk of CVD and who have elevated LDL cholesterol levels by testing process versus outcomes financial incentives.
Participants will use electronic pill bottles that continuously monitor statin adherence.
The primary outcome will be change in LDL cholesterol over 12 months.

- Individuals without clinical ASCVD or diabetes with LDL cholesterol 190 mg/dl
- A prescription filled for a statin medication within the last 12 months (derived from pharmacy records);
- Low medication adherence on self-report completed during enrollment
Exclusion Criteria:
- Under 18 years old
- A contraindication to further statin use or have suffered statin side effects, such as myopathy
- Will not or cannot give consent

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Control Arm
Arm 1 will be the Control arm, in which participants receive electronic pill bottles for their statin medication but are not enrolled in the sweepstakes.
|
|
Experimental: Process Arm
Arm 2 will be a Process incentive arm where participants receive electronic pill bottles for their statin 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: Outcome Arm
Arm 3 will be an Outcome incentive arm where participants receive electronic pill bottles for their statin medication.
In addition, this group may receive incentives if they lower their LDL.
|
Incentives conditional on LDL cholesterol reduction
|
Experimental: Process Plus Outcome Arm
Arm 4 will be a process plus outcome incentive arm where participants receive electronic pill bottles for their statin medication.
In addition, this group is enrolled in a sweepstakes, in which participants may win money if they remember to take their medication and receive additional incentives for lowering their LDL cholesterol.
