Overview
With Humana Foundation support, we study how patient preferences can inform text-message nudges for participation in the CDC-recognized Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). The project is a partnership with UNC Health and El Centro Hispano.
Research Focus
Preference elicitation
Formative research and preference-survey development to understand how loss aversion, cognitive bandwidth, and social inclusion shape engagement with DPP nudges.
Community-based implementation
Adapting nudge content for cultural relevance and understanding barriers to participation and retention among the populations served by UNC Health and El Centro Hispano.
Status
Formative work and pilot preparation, guiding a feasibility pilot. We are not claiming efficacy, and there is no learned personalized or adaptive nudge policy at this stage.
