Incentive for Weight Loss
Participants are enrolled in a 12-week, self-administered online weight loss program. The program is delivered through 12 weekly sessions; each includes educational videos and a health literacy quiz. Each quiz contains 10 questions, and a quiz is considered "passed" when at least 7 questions are answered correctly. All participants are encouraged to follow the program, take the quizzes, and lose 5% of their baseline body weight by the end of the program. No financial incentives are given for losing weight or passing quizzes.
