Incentive Programs for Female Substance Abusers Who Smoke - 3

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Tobacco Use Disorder

• Registration Number: NCT00064922
• Lead Sponsor: National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of incentive programs for the treatment of nicotine dependence in women who have problems with substance dependence.

Detailed Description

This study will determine the influence of voucher-based CM on reducing smoking (and other drug) use during pregnancy or in post-partum women with children under 1 year of age living with them, or in non-pregnant females who smoke. We are targeting smoking cessation since cigarette use is so prevalent in our service. We will compare a control group to two different voucher-based contingent-reinforcement procedures: one that targets smoking abstinence alone vs. one that offers additional incentives for negative BAL and urinalysis results.
