Behavioral Economics for Activity Motivation in Adolescents and Young Adults With Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes

University of Pittsburgh·interventional·Posted May 5, 2021·Updated Oct 28, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating 1RLD, 1RLW, and 14 other interventions for Type 2 Diabetes and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 75 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

There is an urgent need to engineer targeted physical activity interventions that are effective and scalable for obese adolescents and young adults (AYA) with type 2 diabetes (T2D), who often have very low levels of physical activity. The BEAM Trial is a mobile health (mHealth) intervention that uses behavioral economic-informed financial incentives and text messaging to promote physical activity in AYA with T2D and prediabetes.
