Way to Be Active III (Framing Incentives)
A Randomized Trial of Behavioral Economic Interventions to Improve Physical Activities: Framing Incentives
Employers are increasingly looking for opportunities to motivate sedentary employees to become more physically active. Workplace walking programs have had mixed success and typically show most improvement among participants that are already fairly active at a baseline. The goal of this study is to determine whether a financial incentive program can motivate sedentary employees to increase the number of steps they walk per day to meet a minimum threshold.
The primary outcome measure is the proportion of days a minimum activity of 7000 steps or more is achieved. Outcomes will be assessed each week for 3 months using incentives followed by 3 months of follow-up without incentives. Secondary outcomes will include the average steps walked per day.

参加者グループ / アーム |
介入・治療 |
|---|---|
|
アクティブコンパレータ:Control
The participant will receive either an email or text message (based on the participant's preference) stating whether the participant achieved their goal for the prior day.
|
|
|
実験的:Gain Framing
Participants will be told that they will earn money for each day they walk at least 7000 steps.
Each participant will receive either an email or text message (based on the participant's preference) stating whether or not he/she achieved the goal for the prior day and can collect the earnings.
Non-adherent participants will receive messages about how much they would have earned had they met their target step goal.
|
|
|
実験的:Loss Framing
The participants will be told that their account has been credited a certain amount of money for the upcoming 30 days.
However, for each day they do not meet their goal of at least 7000 steps, they will lose a small portion of that money.
The participant will receive either an email or text message (based on the participant's preference) stating whether the participant achieved the goal for the prior day.
Non-adherent participants will receive messages about how much the participant would have kept had they met the target step goal.

|
実験的:Daily Lottery
Each participant will be entered into a lottery daily, but participants will only be eligible to collect their winnings if they walked at least 7000 steps the day before.
Participants will receive either an email or text message (based on the participant's preference) stating whether or not they won the lottery and if they met their target step goal.
If both occur, the participant will be told how much money he or she won.
Non-adherent participants will receive messages about how much they would have won had they met the target step goal.
