Financial Incentives to Reduce Pediatric Tobacco Smoke Exposures

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Asthma, Incentives, Tobacco Smoking

In brief

Secondhand smoke exposure (SHSe) is one of the most common and potentially modifiable environmental triggers for asthma. Financial incentivization may serve as an effective modality to reduce SHSe among pediatric asthmatics with potential down-stream benefits on improved asthma control and subsequent reduced healthcare utilization. This study plans on testing the feasibility and effectiveness of financial incentives to decrease SHSe, derived from primary caregivers and a member of their social network, of children with persistent asthma.
