Adolescent-Preferred financial incentives to promote type 1 diabetes Self-Care: A discrete choice experiment
Authors' conclusion
Stated preferences can inform intervention design. Future research will evaluate the external validity of the discrete choice experiment-informed intervention design by assessing adolescent health and behavioral outcomes in a randomized controlled trial.
Study context
- Population
- Adolescents aged 12–18 years with T1D from two pediatric hospital endocrinology clinics
- Participants
- 317 adolescents
- Outcome
- Preferences for characteristics of a financial incentives program (monthly reward value, payment structure, difficulty of incentivized behaviors) to motivate T1D self-care
Methodological detailstwo pediatric hospital endocrinology clinics, conditional logit model, 12 choice questions, each a pair of incentive profiles, tailored to T1D technology use and perceived behavior difficulty
