Physical Activity Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized Trial of Economic Incentives to Promote Walking Among Full Time Employees
This study aims to assess the uptake, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of a scalable walking programme for full-time employees both with and without incentives.
The first part of this study comprises an in-home face-to-face survey with 950 full-time
employees in Singapore. The survey aims to identify what an optimal programme might look
like and to quantify the potential uptake of the programme, if offered. Stated preference
conjoint analysis, which assesses individual preferences for attributes of specific
programmes, will be used.
The second part of this study is a Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) of a 12-month walking
programme. Up to 800 full-time employees will be recruited and allocated to one of four
research arms: Control Group, Programme Only Group, Cash Incentive Group and Charitable
Incentive Group. Participants in the intervention arms will be asked to track their physical
activities using Fitbit Zip, a wireless pedometer, which automatically uploads the data to a
custom website. Those in the incentive arms will earn money or raise money for charities if
they meet weekly exercise targets. Those in the control and Programme Only groups with
receive a weekly payment for participation. Incentives and participation payment will be
provided from months 1 - 6, after which they will be withdrawn.
The key outcome variable of the RCT is defined as bouts (in minutes) of moderate to vigorous
physical activity ("MVPA bouts") as measured via accelerometry. Data will be collected at
baseline and month 6 and 12 assessments.
Findings from the RCT will also be used to determine the cost to employers of implementing
each programme and the incremental cost-effectiveness of the incentive programmes compared
to the basic programme without incentives. The primary hypotheses are that the basic
programme will have lower costs per person than the cash or charity programmes, but that the
incentive programmes will be more cost-effective relative to the less expensive and less
effective basic programme.
