Brief Summary

The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of this type of smoking cessation program by comparing a treatment group with a control group. A secondary objective of this research is to explore relations between impulsive behavior and smoking-cessation success among treatment-seeking teens participating in a quit-smoking program. Hypothesis 1. A greater proportion of the participants in the treatment condition will be verified as abstinent from smoking during the course of treatment than participants of the control condition. Hypothesis 2. It is hypothesized that teens who do not successfully stop smoking (or who drop out of the treatment program) will be more impulsive (from measures taken just prior to treatment) than those who do successfully stop or significantly reduce rate of smoking.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The primary outcome for this research will be smoking treatment outcomes (reductions or abstinence) compared across the treatment- and control-condition arms.

  approximately 9.5 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• The secondary outcome for this research will involve the use of pre-treatment assessments of impulsive behavior as predictors of treatment response at the end of the treatment for both conditions and also during followup.

  approximately 9.5 months

Study Arms (2)

Control Condition

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

In this condition, participants will receive reinforcement for timely breath samples with no contingency for a specific breath CO level.

Behavioral: Control condition

CO-Contingent

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In this condition, participants will receive reinforcements contingent on submitting breath samples at CO levels indicating reductions or abstinence from smoking.

Behavioral: CO-Contingent

Interventions

CO-Contingent BEHAVIORAL

In this 42 day condition, participants will receive monetary reinforcements contingent on submitting breath samples at CO levels indicating reductions or abstinence from smoking (4ppm).

CO-Contingent

Control condition BEHAVIORAL

In this condition, participants will receive monetary reinforcement for timely breath samples with no contingency for a specific breath CO level
