To examine whether adding either small, variable financial incentives or optional group sessions improves weight losses in a community-based, Internet behavioral program. Participants (N=268) from Shape Up Rhode Island 2012, a 3 month Web-based community wellness initiative, were randomized to: Shape Up+Internet behavioral program (SI), Shape Up+Internet program+Incentives (SII), or Shape Up+Internet program+Group sessions (SIG). At the end of the 3 month program, SII achieved significantly greater weight losses than SI (SII:6.4% [5.1-7.7]; SI:4.2% [3.0-5.6]; P=.03); weight losses in SIG were not significantly different from the other two conditions (SIG: 5.8% [4.5-7.1], P’s≥.10). However, at the 12 month no treatment follow-up visit, both SII and SIG had greater weight losses than SI (SII: 3.1% [1.8-4.4]; SIG: 4.5% [3.2-5.8]; SI: 1.2% [-0.1-2.6]; P’s≤.05). SII was the most cost-effective approach at both 3 (SII: $34/kg; SI: $34/kg; SIG: $87/kg) and 12 months (SII: $64/kg; SI: $140/kg; SIG: $113/kg). Modest financial incentives enhance weight losses during a community campaign and both incentives and optional group meetings improved overall weight loss outcomes during the follow-up period. However, the use of the financial incentives is the most cost-effective approach.
