Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Health care
  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Incentive, Health care, Randomized controlled trial, Psychological intervention and Gerontology. His research in Incentive intersects with topics in Demography, Behavioral economics and Health promotion. His Health care research includes themes of Mortality rate, Actuarial science, Public economics and MEDLINE.

His Randomized controlled trial research incorporates elements of Physical therapy, Abstinence and Weight loss. Kevin G. Volpp works mostly in the field of Psychological intervention, limiting it down to concerns involving Medical home and, occasionally, Health care reform. His study in Gerontology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Clinical trial and Employee Incentive Plans.

His most cited work include:

  • Financial incentive-based approaches for weight loss: A randomized trial. (670 citations)
  • A randomized, controlled trial of financial incentives for smoking cessation. (610 citations)
  • Wearable Devices as Facilitators, Not Drivers, of Health Behavior Change (436 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Randomized controlled trial, Incentive, Health care, Psychological intervention and Physical therapy are his primary areas of study. His Randomized controlled trial study incorporates themes from Pill, Weight loss, Family medicine and Medication adherence. His work carried out in the field of Incentive brings together such families of science as Payment, Behavioral economics, Public economics and Health promotion.

The Health promotion study combines topics in areas such as Behavior change and Health policy. His Health care study combines topics in areas such as Gerontology, Nursing, Mortality rate, Actuarial science and Medical emergency. His Physical therapy research includes elements of Intervention and Alertness.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Randomized controlled trial (35.41%)
  • Incentive (33.01%)
  • Health care (21.77%)

  • Incentive (33.01%)
  • Psychological intervention (19.14%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Kevin G. Volpp mainly investigates Randomized controlled trial, Incentive, Psychological intervention, MEDLINE and Internal medicine. His Randomized controlled trial study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Statin, Intensive care medicine, Physical therapy, Pill and Financial incentives. His Incentive research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Health economics, Payment, Lottery and Family medicine.

His Psychological intervention research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Interquartile range, Clinical trial, Medical emergency and Population study. Kevin G.
