Funding-Limited
Submission: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Cost-Benefit of
Incentive-based Smoking Cessation for Pregnant Women;
January 9, 2013
Purpose:
The
intent is to solicit proposals for a study to assess the cost-benefit of a smoking
cessation intervention that targets pregnant smokers. The intent is to evaluate
a high intensity and low intensity contingency management (CM) intervention on
prenatal smoking cessation. The suggested approach is a three-arm randomized
controlled trial to assess smoking abstinence at end of pregnancy and
cost-benefit of different intensity levels of CM on prenatal smoking cessation.
The 3 arms would include: 1) a high intensity CM intervention for smoking
cessation during pregnancy; 2) a low intensity CM intervention for smoking
cessation during pregnancy, and 3) standard of care.
