EHR-Nudges for Breast Cancer Screening
Cleveland, Ohio
In this study, personalized nudges to clinicians and patients will be evaluated to help increase breast cancer screening rates in accordance with USPSTF guidelines among women with a primary care visit, with a particular emphasis on those at high risk for non-completion of cancer screening. In partnership with Penn Medicine (Penn) and Case Western Reserve University-University Hospitals (UH), two complementary, concurrent, 6-month, cluster-randomized, pragmatic trials will be conducted. Those assigned to the intervention arm will receive the following clinician and patient level nudge interventions: clinicians will receive a default pended order for a mammogram in the visit encounter in the EHR (Penn and UH), and patients will receive post-visit text message reminders to encourage them to schedule their mammogram (Penn). Patients identified as high risk for noncompletion will be individually randomized to receive an additional bidirectional text message nudge or the standard text messaging (Penn).

EHR Nudges for Overmedication
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
High-risk polypharmacy is common among older adults in the United States, is particularly dangerous for individuals with dementia or cognitive impairment, and is associated with harms such as adverse drug reactions, falls, and higher costs of care. This project aims to test in a pragmatic clinic-randomized controlled trial two electronic health record-based behavioral economic nudges to help clinicians reduce high-risk polypharmacy among their older adult patients and in the subgroup with dementia or cognitive impairment.
The main questions this trial aims to answer are:
Aim 1: To evaluate the effects of an EHR-based commitment nudge, a justification nudge, and the combination of both nudges on a composite measure of high-risk polypharmacy via a pragmatic randomized controlled trial. The investigators will use cluster randomization in which primary care clinics are randomized to receive 0, 1, or 2 nudges using a factorial design. The nudges will run for 18 months, followed by 12 months of observation to assess persistence of effects.
Aim 2: To qualitatively and quantitatively assess clinician experiences with the EHR-based nudges, including their acceptability and effects on workflow. At the conclusion of the intervention period, the investigators will perform semi-structured interviews and field a clinician survey.

EHR Nudges for Prescribing Errors
Chicago, Illinois
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if electronic health record (EHR) nudges (changes to the EHR that do not restrict freedom of choice or alter incentives) can reduce Z-drug prescribing in primary care clinics for patients with insomnia. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Can Z-drug prescribing be reduced by setting the dispense quantity default of new Z-drug orders in the EHR to 10 pills with 0 refills?
2. Can Z-drug prescribing be reduced by an EHR alert that suggests clinicians remove a Z-drug and/or add an evidence-based behavioral treatment for insomnia, followed by a request to justify their reasoning if the suggestion is not followed?
3. Does combining these two nudges reduce Z-drug prescribing?
Researchers will compare each nudge individually and in combination to an guideline education control group to see if each nudge (separately and in combination) can reduce Z-drug prescribing.
Clinician-participants will:
1. Complete an introductory educational module about treating insomnia and relevant EHR changes.
2. Complete their routine patient visits.
3. Either experience EHR changes when prescribing Z-drugs, including a Z-drug dispense quantity default of 10 pills for new orders, a prompt to remove or justify Z-drug orders, both, or neither.

GDMT Strategies for Heart Failure
Danville, Pennsylvania
Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is associated with high mortality and adverse events (hospitalization or urgent outpatient visits for HF), along with diminished quality of life. Despite convincing data that evidenced-based, guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) improve mortality and heart failure-related events, there remains insufficient utilization of these life-saving drugs (evidence-based beta-blockers (EBBB), angiotensin-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI)/ angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi)/ angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in patients with HFrEF. The primary objective of this study is to implement and evaluate a multifaceted, interdisciplinary intervention to improve GDMT use, reduce mortality, and reduce future heart failure events in patients with HFrEF.

Behavioral Nudges for Flu Shot Uptake
Lancaster, Pennsylvania
This study will be a 6-month, cluster randomized, pragmatic replication trial to evaluate the effectiveness of personalized nudges to clinicians and patients, relative to a control, to increase flu vaccination rates among older adults in accordance with CDC guidelines. This will include clinician and patient level nudge interventions, with additional, intensified nudge interventions for patients identified as high risk for not receiving a flu vaccine. Among the intervention clinics, patients will receive pre-visit text message reminders about the flu vaccine, and clinicians will receive a default pended order in the visit encounter in the EHR, along with monthly peer comparison feedback about their flu vaccine completion rate. Patients identified as high risk for noncompletion will be individually randomized to receive an additional bidirectional text message nudge or the standard text messaging

Cascade Screening for High Cholesterol
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The goal of this clinical trial is to test two implementation strategies (automated health system \[Penn Medicine\]-mediated strategy vs. Family Heart Foundation-mediated strategy using a patient navigator) versus usual care to promote family cascade screening for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in Penn Medicine patients diagnosed with FH ("probands"). The main questions this study aims to answer are: (1) evaluating the effect of the three approaches on reach (proportion of probands who have at least one family member who completes screening), number of family members screened, number of family members diagnosed with FH, and proband LDL-C levels; and (2) identifying implementation strategy mechanisms focusing on health equity using mixed methods and oversampling populations that experience disparities. Participants (probands) in the active arms (health system \[Penn Medicine\]-mediated, Family Heart Foundation-mediated) will receive messaging that provides education about FH and provides instructions for participating in family cascade screening. A subset of probands will be invited to complete a qualitative interview about their experience receiving the implementation strategy. The research team will compare the active arms to Penn Medicine usual care for cascade screening to evaluate whether the active arms are more effective at promoting cascade screening than usual care.

Financial Incentives for Smoking Cessation
Athens, Georgia
Smokers partnered with other smokers (i.e., dual-smoker couples) represent \~2/3 of all smokers. Dual-smoker couples (DSCs) are less likely to try to quit smoking and more likely to relapse during a quit attempt, reducing overall smoking cessation rates and representing a high-risk clinical population. Despite their high prevalence and risk for persistent smoking, however, there are limited data on smoking cessation interventions among DSCs. Building on previous research that suggests a) financial incentive treatments (FITs) are effective at increasing quit rates and b) dyadic adaptations of FITs are feasible for implementation in DSCs, the proposed study will systematically two versions of FITs to enhance smoking cessation among DSCs. In addition to determining the efficacy of these dyadic FITs for smoking abstinence in DSCs, the investigators will consider the cost and cost effectiveness of each adaptation as well as mechanisms of change to inform future implementation research. The investigators will additionally consider secondary outcomes including abstinence during treatment and long-term abstinence maintenance after end of treatment.
The investigators will address these questions in a three-group randomized controlled trial (RCT). In all conditions, individuals who have smoking partners (i.e., targets) will receive usual care (combination fast and slow acting Nicotine Replacement Therapy + quitting resources). In two conditions, participants will receive incentives for abstinence at three time points (1, 3, and 6 months post-baseline). In the SFIT condition, only the target in a couple will be offered incentives; in the DFIT condition, both target and partner will be offered incentives. Primary efficacy outcome is % point-prevalence abstinence at 6 months post-baseline among targets. Secondary outcomes are point-prevalence abstinence at 1 and 3 months during the treatment and 6 months post-treatment (12-months post-baseline), as well as partner outcomes. The investigators will evaluate possible mechanisms of change including partner support and individual and partner motivation to quit as well as evaluate the cost and relative cost of each abstainer within and across condition. These data on the efficacy, mechanisms, and costs of FITs for DSCs will inform population level implementation and promote successful quitting in this treatment refractory population.

Communication Strategies for Primary Care Quality Improvement
Los Angeles, California
As part of UCLA Health's commitment to developing an integrated health system built on a foundation of physician-led, team-based primary care, the Department of Medicine (DOM) implemented a performance-based incentive plan called the Primary Care Clinical Excellence (PCCE) Incentive Plan.
The UCLA Health DOM Quality team is leading the implementation and evaluation of this incentive plan across the UCLA Health primary care network, with the primary goal to immediately produce improvements in the quality of primary care. In order to rigorously measure the most efficacious ways to frame and communicate information about the quality improvement (QI) program, the DOM Quality team has partnered with the UCLA Anderson School of Management.
Understanding the factors that motivate physicians to deliver high quality primary care will provide pivotal insights into the successful implementation of performance based programs nationwide.

Community Investment for Child Health and Well-being
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Black children and adults in the United States fare worse across nearly every health indicator compared to White individuals. In Philadelphia, the location of this study, these health disparities result in a stark longevity gap, with average life expectancies in poor, predominantly Black neighborhoods being 20 years lower than in nearby affluent, predominantly White neighborhoods. The investigators will conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a suite of place- based and financial-wellbeing interventions at the community, organization, and individual/household levels that address the social determinants of racial health disparities. At the community level, the investigators address underinvestment in Black neighborhoods by implementing vacant lot greening, abandoned house remediation, tree planting, and trash cleanup. At the organization level, the investigators partner with community-based financial empowerment providers to develop cross-organizational infrastructure to increase reach and maximize efficiency. At the individual/household levels, the investigators increase access to public benefits, financial counseling and tax preparation services, and emergency cash assistance. The investigators will test this "big push" intervention in 60 Black neighborhood micro-clusters, with a total of 480 children. The investigators hypothesize that this "big push" intervention will have significant impact on children's health and wellbeing.

Floor Sitting for Quality of Life
Los Angeles, California
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of different sitting environments on general well-being and movement patterns in healthy young adults aged 18-35. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does floor sitting lead to increased movement and postural changes compared to chair sitting? Over a month-long period, how does sustained floor sitting influence overall well-being, posture, and movement habits?
Researchers will compare the effects of chair sitting and floor sitting in a controlled lab environment (Aim 1) and observe the longer-term effects of habitual floor sitting in participants natural environments (Aim 2) to see if consistent floor sitting promotes more dynamic movement and comfort.
Participants will:
Undergo two 30-minute experimental sitting sessions, one in a chair and the other on the floor, while engaging in typical desk activities (Aim 1).
Participate in a month-long study where they integrate an hour of floor sitting into their daily routines, recording their experiences and any changes in sitting habits through daily diaries and in-depth interview (Aim 2).

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Behavioral Economics clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Behavioral Economics clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Behavioral Economics trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Behavioral Economics is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Behavioral Economics medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Behavioral Economics clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Tobacco Regulations for Smoking, EHR-Nudges for Breast Cancer Screening and Behavioral Economics for Healthy Eating to the Power online platform.
