Financial Incentive and Text-Messages

"Patient-participants will receive modest financial incentive for attending therapy or medication management appointments combined with text messages to encourage attendance at these appointments. Text messages will be informed by principles of behavioral economics. Maximum incentive = $50/month if all appointments attended. Incentives will be pro-rated by percentage of appointments attended. Pro-rating strategies (e.g., uniform amount per appointment, escalating \[aka, 'back-loaded'\], or decreasing \[aka 'frontloaded'\] will be sequentially changed based on acceptability and other intervention-related data gathered from participants during the trial.~Clinician-participants will not receive any intervention, but will receive surveys and interviews to assess their perceptions about the optimization, acceptability, scalability, and other implementation barriers/facilitators for the intervention."
