Financial Incentives to Exercise for Adolescents
NCT01848353 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Among youth populations, American Indians have the highest prevalence of diabetes in the United States. This study will use exercise as the principal lifestyle modification approach to reduce the risk of diabetes in this population. The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma has several excellent, but underutilized wellness facilities in their Health Services Area in rural Southeast Oklahoma, a low socioeconomic region. It has been established that exercise lowers diabetes risk, and many overweight/obese, insulin resistant American Indian youth who live in this region would benefit from an increase in regular exercise. The challenge is to modify behavior so that routine exercise is established and maintained. The proposed study will test whether monetary incentives can elicit greater frequency and duration of exercise in American Indian youth when transportation and access barriers are reduced.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01848353
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01848353 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 142 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Oklahoma, which has 306 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Obesity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Exercise training is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01848353 reports 2 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Oklahoma. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
