Preliminary Test of Reactive Carrot Incentives in a Practice Quit Environment With Contingency Management Incentives

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Smoking Cessation

In brief

The primary aim of this study is to pilot test a novel reactive carrot approach for improving individuals' ability to stick to a "practice quit" program in a smoking cessation context. In this study, the treatment gives subjects an offer to forego a monetary incentive to forego the opportunity to receive subsequent abstention (contingency management) rewards.
