[Financial incentives for lifestyle behavior change].

A considerable part of the burden of disease in the Netherlands is caused by unhealthy behavior. Prevention is therefore an important part of recent national agreements, which must now be given practical shape. It is widely known that behavior change is difficult and requires intervening at many levels simultaneously. A relatively scarcely used instrument are financial incentives for lifestyle behavior, despite increasing knowledge about its effectiveness. In this paper, we present ten insights from science for practice about offering financial incentives for lifestyle support, with the aim to fuel the discussion.
