A JAMA Internal Medicine investigation led by Scott Halpern, MD, PhD, with additional CHIBE authors: Elizabeth Cooney-Zingman, MPH; S. Ryan Greysen, MD, MHS, MA; Catherine Reale, BS; Kevin Volpp, MD, PhD; and Jason Karlawish, MD
"The results indicate that there is no evidence from studies of participation in hypothetical or real randomized clinical trials that incentivizing enrollment is undue or unjust, suggesting that studies that offer participation incentives are not unethical; however, the effects of incentives on enrollment may vary across trials, and studies of the effectiveness and ethics of incentives are needed in high-risk trial settings."

A Washington Post article featuring CHIBE-affiliated faculty member Marissa Sharif, PhD
“What we found is that a moderate amount of free time or discretionary time is kind of the sweet spot that people are happiest with,” says lead author Marissa Sharif, PhD. “Having a moderate amount of discretionary time leads people to be happier than having a small amount, because it relieves that time stress. But perhaps the more interesting part is that a moderate amount of discretionary time leads people to be better off or happier compared to having a large amount of free time. And that’s because with a large amount of free time, people feel this lacking sense of productivity and purpose.”

"Principles from behavioral economics have been leveraged to enhance the impact of numerous patient- and clinician-facing interventions to improve cardiovascular health behaviors and outcomes, both in the clinic and through virtual care mechanisms. Future interventions using behavioral economics could amplify their impact by incorporating lessons from non-healthcare industries, as well as the power of AI to tailor interventions towards the right individuals, in the right context, and with the right information."

CHIBE blog post with Torrey Shirk, Senior Research Coordinator
"I’m enjoying my time in the Payment Insights Team researching health care economics because it’s a subject I’ve always wished I understood better, and it’s such a monumentally important issue. Between ever-rising costs, our aging population, obstacles to health care access and of course the pandemic, health care economics is maybe the biggest policy issue of our time and a thrill to be a part of," Shirk told CHIBE.
