Cash-Only INcentives to promote insulin DOSE engagement: A protocol paper for the pilot randomized controlled trial of COIN2DOSE.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Most adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) do not achieve a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) <7.0%, which is the current clinical target. mHealth can offer a scalable and age-appropriate delivery method for behavioral interventions to lower adolescents' HbA1c levels, while applying established behavior change and behavioral economics theories can enhance scientific rigor.

Methods

We aim to conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial of a novel mHealth intervention called Coin2Dose (Cash-Only INcentives To promote insulin DOSE engagement), in a sample of youth with T1D: 1) to obtain measures of feasibility and acceptability and 2) to examine preliminary efficacy versus a standard care control group based on differences in youth's daily BOLUS scores, HbA1c levels, and Tim
