RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

Investigators will examine whether adding financial incentives and nicotine replacement dual therapy to current best practices for smoking cessation (i.e. referral to counseling using a telephone quit line) increases cessation rates in mothers and reduces second-hand smoke exposure in children. While perhaps more expensive upfront compared to best practices alone, the investigators hypothesize that this treatment approach will be a more cost-effective cessation intervention.
