Financial Coaching and Smoking Cessation Study
This study is testing if combining financial counseling with standard smoking cessation counseling is more effective at helping people quit smoking long-term. You would receive either standard smoking cessation counseling or counseling that also includes financial guidance. Both groups will receive nicotine replacement therapy (patches, lozenges, or gum) for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure your smoking abstinence (how long you've stopped smoking) after 12 months using saliva and breath tests. To join, you must be an adult (18-100 years old), smoke at least 5 cigarettes daily, be interested in both types of counseling, have an income below 200% of the federal poverty level, live in New York City, and speak English or Spanish. The study aims to enroll 602 participants, but the current status is unclear.
- Study design
