Summary

A feasibility pilot study of a randomised control trial of adults newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes to compare the effectiveness of financial and social incentives on healthy lifestyle behaviour.

Conditions

  • Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Financial and social incentives

Participants will be credited with HK$1000 in their virtual accounts at the beginning of the trial. After baseline step counts are gathered in the second week, participants will lose HK$40 for each subsequent week that they do not meet their personal weekly step target. The social incentives are peer comparison and social support. Participants receive feedback of their physical activity performance by assessing whether they met or exceeded their step count target, followed by positive messages for encouragement. Nominated supporters will be informed of participants' performance for social support.
