Popis:	Monetary contingency contracts (MCCs), in which deposited money is returned contingent on weight loss, could promote weight/adiposity reduction. This study piloted individual- and pair-based MCCs (when refunds are contingent on two individuals losing weight) and assessed effects on weight/body composition.Seventy-seven participants with BMI greater than 25 kg/mSeventy-seven participants (P-PBR n = 16; P-IR n = 20; I-IR n = 22; comparison n = 19) were recruited. Deposit amount was significantly positively associated with reductions in weight/BMI. At 8 weeks, the P-PBR condition reduced fat mass more than all other conditions (P 0.05) and reduced weight/BMI more than the I-IR condition (P 0.05).The large effect of P-PBR on fat mass suggests it would be valuable to conduct a fully powered, randomized controlled trial of pair-based MCCs.
