The present study evaluated a new 30-day Web-based contingency
management program for smoking abstinence with 4 daily-smoking
adolescents. Participants made 3 daily video recordings of themselves
giving breath carbon monoxide (CO) samples at home that were sent
electronically to study personnel. Using a reversal design, participants
could earn money for continued abstinence during the treatment phases
(CO < 5 ppm). All participants were compliant with the treatment
(submitting 97.2% of samples), and all achieved prolonged abstinence
from smoking.
