Although many women initially quit smoking during pregnancy, most will return to smoking by the end of pregnancy or during the first 6 months postpartum. The proposed pilot project is designed to evaluate the feasibility and potential efficacy of offering small financial incentives for the completion of smoking cessation coaching and biochemically-verified smoking abstinence at follow-up among pregnant women with Medicaid insurance who contact the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline (OTH). The study will enroll 100 pregnant women who will be randomly assigned to OTH care or OTH plus escalating incentives (OTH+I) for completing up to 5 coaching calls over the first 8 weeks after enrolling (prepartum) and for biochemically-verified smoking abstinence at 9 weeks post-enrollment (assessed remotely via smartphone). In addition, participants will be incentivized for completing a postpartum coaching call by 8 weeks postpartum. Feasibility outcomes for the incentives based intervention will focus on coaching call completion, rates of prepartum and postpartum follow-up, biochemically-verified smoking cessation, and perceptions of the intervention. Potential effectiveness will be evaluated by comparing biochemically-verified smoking abstinence rates in OTH+I relative to OTH alone at 12 weeks post-enrollment (prepartum) and 12 weeks postpartum.
The Intensive Dietary Counselling (IDC) intervention is a prevention and health promotion activity. It is being implemented by the Andalusian Health Service to reinforce basic intervention advice on healthy diet and exercise. The IDC intervention is aimed at the prevention of diseases of the heart and blood vessels (e.g. heart failure, heart attack and stroke). The main objective of the present study is to assess adherence to the IDC intervention and, consequently, its effectiveness on the prevention of the above mentioned diseases.
