To evaluate whether financial incentives lead to improvement in self-management behaviors and glycemia in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Adolescents (12- to 18-year-olds) with T1D selected incentivized self-management behavior and clinical outcome goals in a three-treatment (gain frame, loss frame, no incentives) crossover randomized controlled trial. Participants could earn up to $180 in each 12-week incentive treatment arm.
Compared with a mean 41% behavioral goal attainment within the nonfinancial incentives arm, mean behavioral goal attainment under gain and loss frames was 50% (P < 0.01) and 45% (P < 0.01), respectively. Mean time in range (TIR) in gain frame and loss frame arms was higher 43% (P < 0.01) and 42% (P < 0.01), respectively, compared with when not receiving financial incentives (38%). There was no difference in A1C among the three arms.
Financial incentives can improve diabetes self-management behaviors and TIR in adolescents with T1D in the short-term.
评估经济激励是否能改善 1 型糖尿病(T1D)青少年的自我管理行为和血糖水平。
在一项三处理(收益框架、损失框架、无激励)交叉随机对照试验中,青少年(12-18 岁)选择激励性自我管理行为和临床结局目标。参与者在每个 12 周的激励治疗手臂中最多可赚取 180 美元。
与非经济激励手臂中平均 41%的行为目标达成率相比,收益框架和损失框架下的行为目标达成率分别为 50%(P<0.01)和 45%(P<0.01)。收益框架和损失框架手臂中的时间在目标范围内(TIR)分别比未接受经济激励时高 43%(P<0.01)和 42%(P<0.01)。三个手臂之间的 A1C 没有差异。
经济激励可以在短期内改善 T1D 青少年的糖尿病自我管理行为和 TIR。
