Financial Incentives to Promote Weight Loss
Summary: Over 80% of large U.S. employers are now offering financial incentives to promote healthy behaviors such as weight loss, but there are limited data on the effectiveness of different approaches. In this talk, Dr. Kullgren will review the results of two randomized controlled trials that tested different strategies to incentivize weight loss in workplace settings.
