Financial incentives prove successful in supporting pregnant smokers to quit

  • Financial incentives are effective in helping pregnant people quit smoking, according to a new Cochrane review co-led by a University of Massachusetts Amherst researcher.
  • The review found high-certainty evidence that financial incentives improve smoking cessation rates, even after the incentives are withdrawn.
  • The study included 47 mixed-population studies with just under 22,000 participants, showing that 13 in 100 pregnant individuals who received incentives quit smoking successfully.
  • California was the first state to offer financial incentives via Medicaid to people who quit using stimulants, leading to 14 more states following suit.
