The investigators are proposing an experiment to help Humana investigate when to launch
programs or send messages that are designed to improve customers' engagement. The
investigators' past research has shown that certain life events and calendar events (e.g., a
job change, a birthday, a holiday, Monday) feel like a "fresh start" to people and have the
potential to motivate them to begin pursuing their health goals (e.g., exercising, starting
a diet, quitting smoking).

potential to motivate them to begin pursuing their health goals (e.g., exercising, starting

Humana can increase the effectiveness of its messages by sending them to customers around
fresh starts moments and (b) whether highlighting a recent fresh start event in Humana's
messages can further increase customer engagement.
