ABSTRACT There is no shortage of innovative ideas for behavioral interventions to improve health care delivery in the United States. Health care delivery reform has the potential to dramatically improve the health and health care experience. This is especially true for the aging population who interact with the health care system more frequently and suffer some of the gravest health problems. However, too little is known about which interventions could be effective for improving the health of these individuals. This proposal seeks to identify, fund, and support low-cost, high-impact trials of behavioral interventions for mid-life and older people. The Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), founded in 2003, is a network of more than 165 affiliated professors at over 55 universities, united by their use of randomized evaluations to answer critical policy questions. J-PAL North America (NA) was launched at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2013 by Amy Finkelstein (MIT) and Lawrence Katz (Harvard) to apply the J-PAL approach to the region. J-PAL NA’s Health Care Delivery Initiative (HCDI) focuses on catalyzing high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to test how best to improve health care delivery. We propose to leverage this foundation to spur and support RCTs to test behavioral interventions to improve health care delivery and health outcomes for older adults. The MIT Roybal Center will support two pilots in its first year, and will select additional pilot projects in Years 2-5 through a rigorous peer review process. Each of these projects will be supported by (i) the Management and Administrative Core, which will provide overall leadership and coordination for the Center and (ii) the Pilot Core. The Pilot Core will support project development activities to identify promising research projects, coordinate selection of the most promising pilots for funding, support funded pilots, and create a sustained behavioral intervention development program to improve health outcomes for older adults.
