Assessing the Feasibility of Using Contingency Management to Modify Cigarette Smoking by Adolescents
Roll, John M.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v38 n4 p463 Win 2005
Cigarette smoking is a leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Many smokers initiate this dangerous behavior during adolescence. This report describes a contingency management intervention designed to initate and maintain a period of abstinence from cigarettes by adolescent smokers. Results suggest that the intervention was generally successful and that further investigation of this topic is warranted.
