What this Trial Is About
Smoking cessation (SC) interventions using behavioral economics mainly focus on financial incentives, which were used to change health behaviors by utilizing a reward system to enhance long-term maintenance. Incentives have been demonstrated to enhance SC across various populations with moderate effects. Interventions for smoking cessation characterized by financial incentives focus primarily on the potential for monetary gain rather than loss. Changing the motivational strategy to combine disclosing losses with providing financial incentives may increase the effectiveness of financial consequence-based smoking cessation interventions. Thus, this study aims to test, by a 2-arm RCT, the effectiveness of an intervention of which includes mobile phone-based intervention combined with small incentive and smoking cessation in workplaces in Hong Kong; identify facilitators and barriers of successful policy implementation and quitting; examine and evaluate the company environment and their policies in promoting smoking cessation.
