Incorporating Financial Incentives to Increase Smoking Cessation Among Asian Americans Residing in New York City: A Feasibility Study
Financial incentives for motivating health change have been increasingly employed in various
healthcare sectors. They can be a potentially effective approach to promote smoking
behavioral change and increase the use of evidence-based counseling and pharmacotherapy.
Smoking cessation randomized clinical trials (RCT) incorporating financial incentives have
been conducted in different populations; however, there has not been a randomized clinical
trial coupled with a financial incentive with Asian American cigarette smokers. The purpose
of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility of implementing an incentivized smoking
cessation program among Asian American smokers in New York City.
