Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Nicotine Dependence, Psychotic Disorders

In brief

This study examines the use of contingent incentives to increase attendance at smoking cessation treatment sessions by smokers with schizophrenia and other psychoses who want to quit smoking. We hypothesize that participants randomized to receive contingent rewards for group attendance will attend more treatment sessions than those in the control group.
