A recent randomized clinical trial conducted at the University of Vermont examined the effectiveness of financial incentives in promoting smoking cessation among mothers of young children and its potential impact on child secondhand smoke exposure. The trial involved 198 women-child dyads who were assigned to one of three treatment conditions: best practices, best practices plus financial incentives, or best practices, financial incentives, and nicotine replacement therapy. The results showed that financial incentives were effective in increasing maternal smoking cessation, but did not significantly reduce child secondhand smoke exposure. This research provides valuable insights into the use of financial incentives for smoking cessation interventions. [Extracted from the article] |
