Summary

Smoking during pregnancy has harmful effects on both mother and unborn child. Studies have shown that small rewards can help smokers to quit. In our current study, we ask how such rewards are most effective in supporting smoking cessation in pregnancy.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cash payment and brief behavioral counseling

The intervention consists of: (i) in person brief behavioral counseling, (ii) the evaluation of the smoking status using breath carbon monoxide, and (iii) cash payment of 25 Euro if the reading does not exceed a carbon monoxide value "3 ppm" ( ppm = parts per million) on two consecutive measurements per week. The intervention starts at the earliest in pregnancy week 15 and lasts until the delivery. If they relapse, the reward is not paid. However, in the following week they have the opportunity to quit smoking and being rewarded again.
