Randomized Clinical Trial to Reduce Harm From Tobacco

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Smoking Cessation

In brief

Using the NIH-funded Way to Health platform, the investigators will conduct this smoking cessation RCT among Vitality/Discovery beneficiaries. The investigators will be able to determine the effectiveness of 4 different interventions aimed at smoking cessation, two of which are incentive structures that are each grounded in behavioral economic principles. The other interventions will determine the effectiveness of various cessation aids, including electronic cigarettes and text messaging, on smoking cessation. This study will be conducted as an opt-out procedure where participants are automatically enrolled in the program but have the choice to unenroll if they so chose. This pragmatic approach will allow us to investigate the effects of such programs in an employee based population that can be easily mimicked in other employee based populations.
