What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a brief single-session intervention (SSI) combined with various incentive strategies to encourage participation in wellness-related activities among first-year undergraduate students. Participants will receive education and strategies to improve a wellness goal, such as sleep or physical activity, and will choose daily behaviors to support that goal. They will be randomly assigned to one of four incentive conditions, which vary based on whether the incentive is given to the individual or a charity and whether a restorative incentive is provided for missed activities. The study seeks to identify which incentive strategy is most effective in promoting adherence to wellness behaviors.
