Public Opinion About Paying People to Quit SmokingFinancial incentives (FI) are effective in achieving tobacco cessation but remain controversial in their use• RCT using experimental survey design, comparing support for a “treatment,” medication, or financial incentive for tobacco cessation• 1,092 surveys collected at transportation depots in Philadelphia• No statistical difference in rate of support among 3 treatment types• Predictors of FI support: Current smoker, age, (internal LOC)

• Significance: No disfavor towards the use of financial incentives, versus medications or generic treatment for tobacco cessation. Certain subgroups favor support of financial incentives.

• Maternal obesitypoor maternal-child health outcomes • Few interventions decrease rates of excessive pregnancy weight gain or postpartum weight retention.• Psychosocial predictors of maternal obesity: self-efficacy, weight locus of control, & perinatal depression • We now propose a 4-component intervention: motivational appeals, environmental aids, peer & task-oriented support.• We completed 3 focus groups to write the text messages we will use during the intervention.• We start pilot enrollment January 1, 2011.
