Persistent Poverty Counties Pregnant Women With Medicaid
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Although many women initially quit smoking during pregnancy, most will return to smoking by the end of pregnancy or during the first 6 months postpartum.The findings of a meta-analysis have concluded that incentivizing smoking cessation is an effective approach among pregnant women. The proposed pilot project is designed to evaluate the feasibility and potential efficacy of offering small financial incentives for the completion of smoking cessation coaching among pregnant women with Medicaid insurance who contact the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline (OTH). The study will enroll 100 pregnant women who will be randomly assigned to OTH care or OTH plus escalating incentives (OTH+I) for completing up to 5 coaching calls over the first 8 weeks after enrolling (prepartum) In addition, participants will be incentivized for completing up to 2 postpartum coaching calls by 8 weeks postpartum. Feasibility outcomes for the incentives-based intervention will focus on coaching call completion, rates of prepartum and postpartum follow-up, and perceptions of the intervention. Potential effectiveness will be evaluated by comparing self-reported smoking abstinence rates in OTH+I relative to OTH alone at 12 weeks post-enrollment (prepartum) and 12 weeks postpartum.
