Contingency Management for Smoking Cessation in Adolescent Smokers - Phase IV, Enhancing a High School Based Smoking Cessation Program
The purpose of this study is to examine the the efficacy of adjunctive nicotine replacement
therapy when used in combination with the contingency management (CM) + cognitive behavioral
therapy intervention. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either a nicotine
transdermal patch or a placebo patch as well as being randomly assigned to receive either CM
or no CM; all subjects will receive cognitive behavioral therapy. We hypothesize that that
subjects receiving both active nicotine patch and CM will have higher rates of abstinence
from tobacco than subjects in the other groups.
