Personal financial incentives for changing habitual health-related behaviors: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2015, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :Reviewers' risk of bias judgements are presented in Fig. S1 (Appendix A). Most studies provided insufficient detail to enable assessment of the integrity of randomization (n = 26) (Donatelle et al., 2000a; b; Klesges et al., 1987; Rand et al., 1989; Francisco et al., 1994; Jeffrey, 1983; Mahoney, 1974; Norton and Powers, 1980; Wing et al., 1981; Donatelle and Hudson, 2002; Galbo, 2011; Glasgow et al., 1993; Heil et al., 2008; Hennrikus et al., 2002; Higgins et al., 2012; Jason et al., 1995; Jeffery et al., 1984; 1998; 1993; Klem and Klesges, 1988; Kramer et al., 1986; Saccone and Israel, 1978; Wing et al., 1996; Bloch et al., 2006; Tevyaw et al., 2009; Gomel et al., 1993) and allocation concealment (n = 30) (Donatelle et al., 2000a; b; Jeffery et al., 1990; Klesges et al., 1987; Rand et al., 1989; Giné et al., 2010; Francisco et al., 1994; Jeffrey, 1983; Mahoney, 1974; Norton and Powers, 1980; Wing et al., 1981; Donatelle and Hudson, 2002; Galbo, 2011; Glasgow et al., 1993; Heil et al., 2008; Hennrikus et al., 2002; Higgins et al., 2012; Jason et al., 1995; Jeffery et al., 1984; 1998; 1993; John et al., 2011; Klem and Klesges, 1988; Kramer et al., 1986; Saccone and Israel, 1978; Shoptaw et al., 2002; Wing et al., 1996; Bloch et al., 2006; Tevyaw et al., 2009; Gomel et al., 1993). Because of the nature of financial incentive schemes, participants were not blinded in any of the studies.
