Article Synopsis
- - Smoking is the top preventable cause of death in the USA, and low use of cessation treatments poses a barrier to reducing smoking rates; the FIESTA II study aims to evaluate financial incentives' effectiveness in promoting smoking cessation among hospitalized smokers.
- - The study will include adult smokers from underserved communities in NYC and LA who are considering quitting; participants will be sorted into three groups – one with goal-directed financial incentives, one with outcome-based incentives, and a control group with usual care only.
- - Participants can earn money for completing follow-up interviews and smoking cessation tests, with the incentive groups eligible for up to $700 in total, designed to motivate quitting through financial rewards and support resources like coaching and nicotine replacement therapy.
