To prevent health problems and relieve the burden on the healthcare system, it is important to stimulate a healthy lifestyle. One of the most effective interventions is rewarding healthy behavior change. In this symposium 'Rewarding healthy behavior: policy and science perspectives' scientists and policymakers share recent insights into the use of incentives for health.
Program:
- David de Buisonjé will present his PhD research into financial incentives for health behavior change.
- Koen van der Swaluw looks at incentives from a policy perspective and discusses issues surrounding solidarity, among other things.
- Luc Hagenaars combines public administration, complexity and health science research into the upstream commercial determinants of health, and shares his experiences after a year of research in this area at the University of California San Francisco.
- Elena Agachi presents her PhD research into the health platform SamenGezond of healthcare insurer Menzis. She will, among other things, show how vulnerable groups with a lower socio-economic position can be reached.
- Finally, Linda Breeman and Veronica Janssen present the development and evaluation of the BENEFIT program, a health programs for people with cardiovascular diseases that also work with different reward principles.
