This study tests two different incentive mechanisms to induce members of a particular urban
senior center to attend more exercise classes. Coupons for future use are given to
participants who attend an exercise class and will be redeemable within either a one week or
three month time period, depending on which experimental group the participant is assigned
to. Frequency of exercise class attendance at the end of 2 months will be the primary
outcome.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 55 years or older
- Member of the Philadelphia Senior Center
