Summary

This study examines the use of contingent incentives to increase attendance at smoking cessation treatment sessions by smokers with schizophrenia and other psychoses who want to quit smoking. We hypothesize that participants randomized to receive contingent rewards for group attendance will attend more treatment sessions than those in the control group.

Conditions

  • Nicotine Dependence
  • Psychotic Disorders

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Contingency Management

Participants draw from a fishbowl to obtain tokens when they attend a smoking cessation treatment session. The number of draws will be based upon attendance at consecutive sessions. Tokens include messages of encouragement ("Good job!") or VA canteen vouchers of varying monetary value.

BEHAVIORAL

Reward

Participants receive set reward (VA canteen voucher) for each week of smoking cessation treatment they attend. The value of the reward will not change regardless of attendance at consecutive sessions.
