Study Summary
Risk for developing and dying from heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and other cardiometabolic conditions is strongly influenced by behavioral risk factors, including poor diet, physical inactivity, and tobacco and alcohol abuse. Behavioral economic models predict engagement in these behaviors as a function of their subjective value, ability to provide immediate gratification, and availability of competing alternatives. A key implication of the behavioral economic model is that increasing the accessibility of compelling alternative sources of reinforcement may displace engagement in unhealthy behaviors. Developing interventions that leverage these insights requires both a clear understanding of the characteristics of the "reward landscape" of U.S. adults, and the impact of altering the reward landscape on behavioral economic processes and health behavior. This pilot study uses a trial within a cohort (TwiC) design to pursue these objectives. A representative sample of adults (N=120) will be enrolled into an observational cohort. Cardiometabolic health will be assessed and quantified based on the Life's Essential 8 (LE8) scoring system,4 which includes 4 behavioral (physical activity, diet quality, sleep, tobacco use) and 4 biomedical (non-HDL cholesterol, glucose, weight status, and blood pressure) factors. Structured home audit tools and an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) protocol will be used to measure environmental access to, demand for, and engagement in various rewarding activities, including different categories of recreational activity, electronic entertainment, social activities, and consumable rewards including food, tobacco products, and alcohol. The inter-relationships between different types of rewarding behaviors as substitutes or complements, and their links with cardiometabolic health, will be examined overall and with stratification by socioeconomic status. Following completion of the first assessment, a subset of participants will be
