Financial Incentives for Smoking Cessation Among Disadvantaged Mothers With Young Children

Name
5R01HD078332
Description
Investigators will examine whether adding financial incentives and nicotine replacement dual therapy to current best practices for smoking cessation (i.e. referral to counseling using a telephone quit line) increases cessation rates in mothers and reduces second-hand smoke exposure in children. While perhaps more expensive upfront compared to best practices alone, the investigators hypothesize that this treatment approach will be a more cost-effective cessation intervention.
