About this study
Official title: The Effects of Economic Scarcity on Health Behaviors in Older Adults With Chronic Disease
Among adults with chronic illnesses like hypertension, diabetes, or HIV, adherence to daily oral medications is essential but often below 50%. Why do medication adherence and preventive health service engagement remain stubbornly low? Scarcity theory offers a novel explanation in the context of poverty. It posits that economic hardship imposes a cognitive burden that shifts attention from long-term goals to immediate needs, reduces future orientation (the relative value placed on immediate vs. future outcomes), and limits mental bandwidth (the cognitive resources needed for decisions), thus undermining behaviors like daily medication adherence and service engagement. To address these gaps, the study's objective is to rigorously test whether and how economic scarcity affects medication adherence and preventive service uptake among older adults with chronic disease, leveraging the naturally occurring monthly fluctuation in scarcity created by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit cycle as a natural experiment.
There are three aims:

- Daily medication adherence will be measured objectively for four months with wireless electronic pill bottle caps (CleverCaps). The investigators will test whether, when, and by how much adherence changes as scarcity fluctuates during the SNAP benefit cycle.
- The investigators will conduct two easily implementable RCTs to test whether scarcity affects participants' engagement with beneficial services requiring navigation of administrative burdens. In one trial, participants will be randomized to receive an invitation during either a high- or low- scarcity period (i.e., before vs. after SNAP receipt) to a personalized preventive health review that identifies gaps in US Preventive Services Task Force Grade A/B recommendations. In the second, participants will be invited to free financial counseling provided by the City of Philadelphia during a high- or low-scarcity period. The investigators hypothesize invitation response rates will be >15% higher during low-scarcity periods.
- Potential mechanisms that link scarcity with health behaviors will be examined by randomizing timing of validated measures of mental bandwidth and future orientation during a period of high- or low-scarcity (i.e., before vs. after SNAP receipt). The investigators hypothesize that there will be differences in several measures between participants who are randomly assessed during high- vs. low-scarcity periods (i.e. before vs. after SNAP receipt).
Impact: Demonstrating that scarcity helps to explain low medication adherence and beneficial health-related service uptake can inform patient-centered adherence interventions, clinical care-delivery approaches, health-system strategies, and public health approaches to improve these health behaviors and promote healthy aging.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Preventative health review invitation early in SNAP cycle, Financial counseling invitation early in the SNAP cycle and Aim 3 follow-up call early in the SNAP period in people with HIV and Hypertension, run by University of Pennsylvania at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Daily medication adherence (time frame: Full 4-month participant enrollment period). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Oct 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
