Physical and cognitive rest are recommended as treatment for concussion, but debate persists about the utility of this recommendation for patients recovering from concussion. In addition, patient adherence to physical and cognitive rest recommendations after concussion remains unknown. This study will measure and compare symptom and activity reports in the days and weeks after a concussion among patients randomly assigned to different incentive-based arms.
Although physical and cognitive rest are recommended as the hallmark treatment for concussion, debate persists about the utility of this recommendation for patients recovering from a concussion. In addition, patient adherence to physical and cognitive rest recommendations after concussion remains unknown. Objective and timely measures of physical and cognitive activity will aid in defining the relationship between physical and cognitive rest and clinical outcomes, such as symptom status, in the days and weeks after a concussion. Random assignment to incentive-based arms will be used to measure patient engagement with the study protocol and a dedicated research platform that involves ecological momentary assessment (EMA), in which participants report their real-time symptoms and daily activities in response to randomly timed prompts, will be used to help assess the rest and recovery process among pediatric and adult patients after concussion.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Streak incentive | Experimental | Subjects start with no money in an account, but they earn a fixed amount with each response. In this arm, each adult report is worth $3.17 so an adult subject can earn up to $200 if he/she responds to all surveys. If an adult completes at least 75% of the reports, he/she will receive an $100 bonus for a total maximum of $300. In this arm, each child report is worth 0.52 cents so a child subject can earn up to $33 if he/she responds to all surveys. If a child completes at least 75% of the reports, he/she will receive a $17 bonus for a total maximum of $50. |
|
| Loss-based incentive | Experimental | Subjects start with the maximum possible compensation, but money is deducted for each missed response. Adult subjects will lose $4.76 for each missed survey. Child subjects will lose $0.79 for each missed survey. |
|
| Flat-fee control status quo condition | Active Comparator | Subjects will receive the maximum possible compensation at the end of the study regardless of response rate. |
|
| Flat-Fitbit control status quo condition | Active Comparator | Subjects will be compensated by keeping the Fitbit at the end of the study regardless of response rate. |

| Streak incentive | Behavioral | Participants will receive prompts 3 times a day for 21 days prompting them to complete surveys. They will start with a $0 balance and will earn a fixed amount for each response. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Participant adherence to completing daily survey | This is a study where each participant is sent a short survey (PCSI instrument) three times each day for 21 days. The participant is instructed to reply to each survey within several minutes of receiving the prompt. We are interested in the extent to which participants will adhere to this instruction. Therefore, the outcome of interest is whether or not the participant replied to a given survey prompt. When we evaluate patient adherence in the data, we do this by calculating the % of survey prompts to which a given participant responded. In sum, the outcome is adherence to the survey. | 21 days |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Time to recovery | Assess and quantify the concussion recovery process by monitoring symptoms and cognitive and physical activity on a daily basis. | 1 to 21 days |
| Correlation between symptoms and physical activity |
