About this study

Official title: Striving to Quit: First Breath Tobacco Cessation Research

This study is designed to test the hypotheses that incentives can increase both participation in smoking cessation treatment and resulting cessation rates, when they are offered to Medicaid BadgerCare Plus pregnant smokers.

Read the detailed description

Aim 1: To determine the extent to which contingent financial "treatment incentives" (i.e., incentives for biochemical verification visits, treatment engagement, and abstinence) versus "attendance incentives" (i.e., incentives for only attending the biochemical verification visits), increase rates of prenatal and postnatal smoking abstinence. Participants will be BadgerCare Plus members who are recruited into the First Breath program while pregnant.

Aim 2: To determine the extent to which treatment incentives, versus attendance incentives, increase rates of engagement in First Breath smoking cessation intervention when offered to pregnant and postpartum BadgerCare Plus members.

Aim 3: To determine the cost-effectiveness and reach of the First Breath intervention delivered to pregnant and postpartum smokers when it is paired with treatment incentives and when paired with only attendance incentives.

Aim 4: To determine if the First Breath intervention with treatment incentives, in comparison to that intervention with only attendance incentives, produces significantly greater benefits in pregnant and postpartum women with regards to nonsmoking health outcomes: i.e., reduced depression, increased levels of breast feeding, and greater perceived support.

Aim 5: To identify moderating and mediating effects of treatment incentives when offered in the context of the First Breath intervention delivered to pregnant and postpartum women.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Abstinence from smoking

    The data will be the biochemically confirmed reports of abstinence for the past 7 days (i.e., 7-day point-prevalence abstinence)

    Measured: Measured 6 months after births at follow-up assessment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Engagement in treatment

    The primary analyses will compare number of calls and visits completed.

    Measured: Measured 12 months after birth at follow-up assessment

  2. Cost-effectiveness

    The primary analysis will contrast the incremental costs of the treatment vs. attendance conditions by computing the Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) with regard to attaining 6-month abstinence.

    Measured: Measured 12 months after birth
