Conditions
Diabetes Type 2
Smoking Cessation
Registration Number
NCT04682067
Lead Sponsor
University of Oklahoma
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of contingency management on improving smoking cessation among individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Detailed Description

Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cigarette smoking are major causes of morbidity and mortality in US, and research indicates there is a complex relationship between these two risk factors. Smoking cessation is recommended as a standard treatment of diabetes by the American Diabetes Association; however, patients with T2DM and their providers are often inundated with other challenging lifestyle changes and disease management. Due to the complex relationship between diabetes and smoking and the large number of competing lifestyle changes recommended at diagnosis, smokers with T2DM may benefit from a contingency management (CM) program that incentivizes cessation. Providing patients tangible rewards to reinforce positive behaviors such as smoking abstinence has been proven effective in substance abuse programs, smoking cessation among pregnant women unwilling or unable to quit, and other population subgroups. In this CRUK2 study the investigators aim to test and further explore the potential effectiveness of financial incentives contingent upon proof of quitting smoking. The investigators will gather diabetes-related contextual factors associated with participation in the program and smoking cessation.
