Mobile Contingency Management for Smoking Cessation in Returning US Veterans

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Smoking, Veterans

In brief

The primary goal of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined tele-health and contingency management (CM) intervention that the investigators call mobile CM, or mCM, in promoting smoking abstinence in US Veterans. The mCM intervention will combine a mobile system to reward non-smoking, smoking cessation counseling, and smoking cessation medications. The primary aim is to evaluate how effective this intervention is in promoting smoking abstinence compared to telehealth interventions for smoking cessation.
