Overview
Brief Summary
Financial incentives for motivating health change have been increasingly employed in various healthcare sectors. They can be a potentially effective approach to promote smoking behavioral change and increase the use of evidence-based counseling and pharmacotherapy. Smoking cessation randomized clinical trials (RCT) incorporating financial incentives have been conducted in different populations; however, there has not been a randomized clinical trial coupled with a financial incentive with Asian American cigarette smokers. The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility of implementing an incentivized smoking cessation program among Asian American smokers in New York City.
