我们报告了2019年1月至2020年2月期间进行的一系列随机对照试验（RCT）的结果，这些试验测试了旨在增加SNAP接受者在明尼苏达州人口最多的县Hennepin县按时重新认证的可能性的行为干预措施。鉴于治理水平不同，低收入家庭必须通过谈判获得和保留SNAP粮食援助福利的资格规则和程序也很多，许多家庭可能无法重新获得SNAP的资格。行政负担包括必须了解最后期限以及哪些表格构成重新认证所需的适当文书工作所造成的困难。在我们的主要干预措施中，我们测试了一项三臂研究（n= 23，756），比较了Hennepin County SNAP重新认证自动拨号器通信的有效性，行为信息短信，以及Hennepin County自动拨号器和我们的短信的第三臂，对照组在重新认证月份开始时没有收到任何提醒，但收到了其他标准的书面通信。试验结果表明，自动拨号器不是一个有效的提醒。然而，使用短信的干预措施在提高重新认证率方面是有效的，与没有额外信息相比提高了约5%（p<0.01），与目前使用的亨内平县自动拨号器信息相比提高了约2%（p<0.05）。短信似乎对60岁以下、教育水平低至中等的SNAP接受者特别有效。
We report results from a series of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) run between January 2019 and February 2020 testing behavioral interventions designed to increase the likelihood that SNAP recipients recertify on-time in Hennepin County, the most populous county in Minnesota. Given the different levels of governance and the abundance of qualifying rules and processes that low-income households must negotiate to obtain and retain SNAP food assistance benefits, many households may fail to recertify for SNAP. Administrative burden includes the difficulties created by having to learn deadlines and which forms constitute the proper paperwork necessary to recertify. In our main intervention, we test a three-armed study (n=23,756), comparing the efficacy of the Hennepin County SNAP recertification auto-dialer communication, a behaviorally-informed text message, and a third arm with both the Hennepin county autodialer and our text message, against a control group that did not receive any reminder at the beginning of the recertification month but did receive other standard written communications. Results from this trial show that the autodialer is not an effective reminder. However, the interventions with text messages are effective in improving recertification rates around five percent (p<0.01) over no additional message and around two percentage points (p<0.05) over the Hennepin County autodialer message currently being used. Text messaging appears to be particularly effective for SNAP recipients under the age of 60 with low to moderate levels of education.
