Study Summary

Financial incentives for motivating changes in health behavior, particularly for weight loss in obese individuals, are increasingly being tested by health insurers, employers, and government agencies. However, a key unanswered question regarding weight loss is how to structure these incentive programs to maximize their effectiveness, acceptability to patients, and economic sustainability. Focusing on obese patients living in neighborhoods with a high concentration of low socioeconomic status households, the investigators will compare the impact of financial incentives for weight loss on sustained weight loss, use of evidenced-based therapy, and quality of life, and they will determine their short-term and long-term return on investment.
