Abstract
Key Findings?
? Women perceive that incentives to quit smoking while pregnant will increase their likelihood to quit if the value is greater than ?20 per month.?
? Perceived effectiveness of the quitting service increased as the value of the incentive increased but at a declining rate.?
? Daily text messages or phone calls from a professional and involving a friend or relative in the intervention are also likely to contribute to effectiveness.?
? These results can be used to inform the development and refinement of future trials of incentives to help women quit smoking during pregnancy.
