Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Feedback 50th Percentile
At the end of each week, participants will be told (by email or text, based on the participant's preference) the team's average daily step count for the previous week based on all 7 days. They will also be told the average for the 50th percentile in their arm. If the team's average daily step count is ≥ 7000 steps, the team will be eligible for the weekly lottery.
Financial Incentive
For the first three months of the study, a weekly lottery will be held. Teams whose average daily step count for that week is ≥ 7000 will be eligible to collect their lottery winnings. Teams whose average daily step count is less than 7000 will receive messages about how much they would have won had the team met its goal.
Daily Feedback
Participants will be given daily feedback on whether or not they walked 7000 steps or more the day before.
Feedback 75th Percentile
At the end of each week, participants will be told (by email or text, based on the participant's preference) the team's average daily step count for the previous week based on all 7 days. They will also be told the average for the 75th percentile in their arm. If the team's average daily step count is ≥ 7000 steps, the team will be eligible for the weekly lottery.

Feedback 50th Percentile + Forgiveness
At the end of each week, participants will be told (by email or text, based on the participant's preference) the average team's average daily step count for the previous week based on the best 5 of 7 days. They will also be told the average for the 50th percentile in their arm. If the team's average daily step count (best 5 of 7 days) is ≥ 7000 steps, the team will be eligible for the weekly lottery.
