Financial Incentives to Reduce Pediatric Tobacco Smoke Exposures

The caregiver and designated social network member can each receive monthly financial incentives over the 6 month time interval. Additional monthly incentives will be received at 3- and 6-months if the participant's previous two monthly biomarker levels were below the lower-limit cutoff.

Participants who wish to quit smoking will be referred upon study recruitment to the smoking cessation program that is provided at no-cost by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DMMH). The DMMH provides standard counseling and nicotine replacement pharmacotherapies for clients and is offered online or at six health centers throughout Baltimore City.
