目的在减肥计划的行为研究中，参与者通常接受免费干预。在评估潜在的筹资模式时，了解个人为减肥计划支付的意愿(WTP)可能会有所帮助。这项研究评估了WTP在减肥研究结束时继续实施减肥计划的情况。方法在为期两年的Hopkins POWER试验结束时，通过每月的教练联系人来评估WTP。访谈问卷确定了参与者愿意为继续干预支付的金额。根据年龄、体重指数、种族、性别、家庭收入、治疗条件和24个月时体重变化调整后的分位数回归，计算了愿意支付的人的估计最高支付金额。结果在参与者(N=234)中，95%的人愿意为持续减肥干预付费；调整后的中位数为45个月。与非黑人(45个/月)相比，黑人的调整后平均WTP(65个/月)更高，P=0.021.ConclusionsAmajorityofparticipantswerewillingtopayforacontinuedweightlossinterventionwithamedianmonthlyamountthatwassimilartothecostofcommercialweightlossprograms.，
Objective In behavioral studies of weight loss programs, participants typically receive interventions free of charge. Understanding an individual's willingness to pay (WTP) for weight loss programs could be helpful when evaluating potential funding models. This study assessed WTP for the continuation of a weight loss program at the end of a weight loss study. Methods WTP was assessed with monthly coaching contacts at the end of the two‐year Hopkins POWER trial. Interview‐administered questionnaires determined the amount participants were willing to pay for continued intervention. Estimated maximum payment was calculated among those willing to pay and was based on quantile regression adjusted for age, body mass index, race, sex, household income, treatment condition, and weight change at 24 months. Results Among the participants (N= 234), 95% were willing to pay for continued weight loss intervention; the adjusted median payment was 45permonth.BlackshadahigheradjustedmedianWTP( 65/month) compared to Non‐Blacks (45/month),P=0.021.ConclusionsAmajorityofparticipantswerewillingtopayforacontinuedweightlossinterventionwithamedianmonthlyamountthatwassimilartothecostofcommercialweightlossprograms.
