- Abstract
The article focuses on a study regarding social incentives and gamification to promote weight loss. It mentions that exploratory analysis indicated teammates living together achieved more weight loss particularly among the intervention conditions. It states that the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST),4 suggests such questions should be addressed earlier using an optimization trial, such as a factorial experiment or sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART).
