本卷的重点是提供有关财政激励措施的信息,以发展和保持可以改善军事人员健康的习惯。在军队中使用财政激励措施有几个原因,包括军队已经成功地依靠激励措施招募和留住人员。此外,大量证据已经表明,财政奖励可以改善平民的健康习惯。它们已被证明可以减少非法药物的使用(例如,Higgins等人,2008; Higgins等人,2004; Lussier等人,2006),帮助吸烟者戒烟(Heil等人,2008; Volpp等人,2006,2009 a; Sindelar,2008),鼓励其他人减肥(John等人,2011; Volpp等人,2008 a)和解决其他健康习惯(Volpp等人,2008年b)。然而,需要对军人群体进行研究,以评估激励制度的有效性和成本效益,并使其适应军队的具体情况。军人群体之间存在异质性,特别是军队的分支和工资等级,这在设计激励制度时可能很重要(Volpp等人,2011年)。方案的成本、对激励措施的反应和累积的收益可能会出现差异。这些差异将影响军队激励方案的优化设计、实施和选择以及所获得的价值。
The focus of this volume is to provide information on financial incentives to develop and sustain habits that can improve the health of military personnel. There are several reasons to use financial incentives in the military, including that the military already successfully relies on incentives to recruit and retain personnel. Furthermore, substantial evidence already indicates that financial incentives can improve health habits in the civilian population. They have been shown to reduce the use of illicit drugs (eg, Higgins et al., 2008; Higgins et al., 2004; Lussier et al., 2006), help smokers to quit smoking (Heil et al., 2008; Volpp et al., 2006, 2009a; Sindelar, 2008), encourage others to lose weight (John et al., 2011; Volpp et al., 2008a) and address other health habits (Volpp et al., 2008b). However, research is needed in military populations to assess the effectiveness and cost-benefit of incentive systems as well as to adapt them to specifics of the military.There is heterogeneity across military populations, specifically by branch of the military and by pay grade that might be potentially important in designing incentive systems (Volpp et al., 2011). Differences will likely occur in the costs of the programs, responsiveness to the incentives and the benefits accrued. These differences will affect the optimal design, implementation and selection of incentive programs for the military as well as the value obtained.
