A Cluster-Randomized Trial on Small Incentives to Promote Physical Activity D 1 X X

Results: Participation rate was 5.94% in the personal financial incentive group (OR=1.96, 95% CI=1.55, 2.49) and 4.98% in the charity financial incentive group (OR=1.59, 95% CI=1.25, 2.01) compared with 3.23% in the control group. At the start of the program, the charity financial group had a 12% higher chance of walking 10,000 steps per day than the control group (OR=1.68, 95% CI=1.23, 2.30), but this effect dissipated after 3 months. Steps per day and non-usage attrition did not differ significantly between the groups.
