Article Synopsis
- In the last decade, research has increasingly focused on using financial incentives to encourage healthy behaviors, especially in adults, but the implications for children remain less explored.
- Five key considerations for applying these incentives in children are outlined, including their impact on intrinsic motivation, ethical concerns, child development stages, effects on health disparities, and funding for effective programs.
- Current studies indicate that, while the research on financial incentives for children is limited, immediate small incentives may be more effective than larger delayed ones, and there is no clear advantage to loss-framed incentives over gain-framed ones.
