Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate how the Stay-and-Complete School Incentive Savings, part of the Pé-de-Meia Program, affects decision-making among low-income high school students, particularly their tendency towards delay discounting. This concept describes the preference for immediate gratifications over larger future rewards. The main questions it seeks to answer are:

Can exposure to the specific educational stimuli of the Pé-de-Meia Program alter students' propensity for delay discounting? How do different levels of delay discounting influence students' decision-making regarding their studies and the utilization of the program's incentives?

Participants will:

Engage in a modified version of the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), a computerized game that simulates decision-making under uncertainty, adapted to reflect the stimuli and choices related to the Pé-de-Meia Program.

Complete questionnaires that measure their propensity for delay discounting and gather demographic and socioeconomic information.

Researchers will compare the outcomes among groups of students exposed to different types of stimuli (aligned with the program's objectives, contrasting, and a control group without modifications) to see if the specific financial and educational incentives of the Pé-de-Meia Program influence how students value immediate rewards compared to future benefits. This study is expected to contribute to the improvement of public educational policies, encouraging school retention and promoting the educational success of low-income adolescents.

Study Groups

Convergent Group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

School Retention and Completion Incentive Savings via Modified Iowa Gambling Task A

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will engage in a modified version of the Iowa Gambling Task with visual stimuli that are aligned with the Pé-de-Meia program's requirements. Advantageous cards will display images that are congruent with the program's criteria, while disadvantageous cards will feature images that are contrary to the Pé-de-Meia program's requirements.

Divergent Group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

School Retention and Completion Incentive Savings via Modified Iowa Gambling Task B

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The participants will play the modified IGT (Iowa Gambling Task). For the disadvantageous cards, images that align with the requirements of the "Pé-de-Meia" program will be presented, while for the advantageous cards, images that contradict the criteria of the "Pé-de-Meia" program will be shown.

Control Group

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Iowa Gambling Task

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The participants will play the unmodified Iowa Gambling Task.
