BE Smokefree: Behavioral Economics Incentives to Engage Adolescents in Smoking Cessation
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Smoking Cessation
In brief
More than 90% of adult smokers initiate tobacco use before age 18, making prevention and treatment of adolescent smoking a critical health priority. Behavioral economic interventions utilizing financial incentives can promote smoking cessation in adult populations. No studies have evaluated financial incentives among adolescents to promote engagement in effective tobacco cessation programs through primary care settings. The goal of this study is to to compare, through a pilot, randomized controlled trial, an intervention incentivizing contact with a tobacco cessation program (the Quitline), an intervention incentivizing quitting, or no financial incentive intervention on adolescent smoker enrollment and depth of engagement in the tobacco cessation program.
