Financial Incentives for Smoking Cessation Among Disadvantaged Pregnant

Detailed Summary

Investigators will examine whether adding financial incentives to current best practices for smoking cessation during pregnancy (i.e., referral to pregnancy-specific counseling using a telephone quit line) increases cessation rates and improves infant health. While more expensive upfront compared to best practices alone, the investigators hypothesize that this treatment approach will be economically justified by the later cost savings associated with more women quitting, having healthier babies, and needing less healthcare. It should also help to reduce the greater risk for health problems often seen among those who less well off economically.
