Design of Financial Incentive Programs for Smoking Cessation: A Discrete Choice Experiment.

Introduction: Financial incentive programs promote smoking cessation. However, the incentive amount which should be provided-and how this may interact with other program characteristics-is unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the design of incentive programs for smoking cessation on current smokers' perceptions of programs and willingness to enroll.

Incentives for smoking cessation in a rural pharmacy setting: The Tobacco Free Communities program.

Objective: Investigate the smoking-related outcomes and feasibility of a pharmacy-led financial incentive program for smoking cessation.

Design: Multi-site single-arm trial of the Tobacco Free Communities program.

Setting: Community pharmacies within the Glamorgan Spring Bay (Site 1) and George Town (Site 2) municipalities of Tasmania.

Smokers' Perceptions of Incentivized Smoking Cessation Programs: Examining How Payment Thresholds Change With Income.

Introduction: Studies demonstrate that financial incentive programs increase smoking cessation. However, there is little guidance on which incentive magnitudes will ensure optimal enrollment and motivation levels. This study investigates current smokers' perceptions of varying incentive magnitudes to identify whether there is evidence for optimal amount(s) and whether perceptions differ by income group.

Higher incentive amounts do not appear to be associated with greater quit rates in financial incentive programmes for smoking cessation.

Introduction: Financial incentive (FI) programmes can promote smoking cessation. While foundational research suggests higher FI amounts may better produce outcomes, confirmation is needed. Further, the optimal amount(s) needed to cost-effectively promote change is unclear.
