Abstract
Purpose: Examine associations between whether participants' were matched to their preferred financial incentive design and behavioral goal adherence in a weight management intervention.
Setting: Primary care clinics in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities in New York City and Los Angeles.
Subjects: 668 participants (mean age 47.7 years, 81.0% female, 72.6% Hispanic) with obesity were enrolled in the Financial Incentives foR Weight Reduction (FIReWoRk) intervention.
Measures: We explored qualitatively participant's reasons for hypothetically choosing a behavioral goal-directed vs a weight loss outcome-based financial incentive program. Additionally, behavioral adherence to different goals was collected at the 6-month timepoint, categorized by match to preferred financial incentive design.
Analysis: Logistic regression was used to examine if participants with certain demographic and higher psychosocial factors were more likely to choose goal-directed over outcome-based incentives. Additionally, logistic regression was used to test for associations between preference and behavioral adherence, using incentive type as an interaction term.
Results: 60.2% of participants preferred the goal-directed incentive, with the majority stating that it was more structured. Married participants were more likely to prefer goal-directed incentives (OR = 1.57, CI = 1.06-2.33, P = .025). Moderation analysis revealed that participants who preferred goal-directed and were matched to goal-directed had greater rates of behavioral adherence for program attendance and self-weighing, but not dietary tracking and physical activity tracking, compared to those who preferred outcome-based and were matched to outcome-based.
Conclusion: Receiving one's preferred incentive design may not play a strong role in behavioral goal adherence during financially incentivized weight loss interventions.
