BackgroundPost-cessation weight gain is a risk factor for relapse among quitters. The primary study aim was to evaluate, among smokers with overweight or obesity, the feasibility and acceptability of a cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) plus contingency management (CM) for quitting smoking and weight control. The secondary aim was to examine preliminary tobacco abstinence and weight change outcomes. MethodsIn an 8-week pilot randomized clinical trial, 41 participants (Mage = 52.73, SD = 10.91, 56.1% females) with overweight or obesity (MBMI = 31.86, SD = 4.7) received a CBT for both quitting smoking and weight gain prevention (n = 24) or the same treatment plus CM (n = 17), consisting of providing incentives contingent upon smoking abstinence biochemically verified. ResultsRecruitment success rate was 80.39% (41/51), completion rate was 90.24% (37/41), and mean number of sessions attended (out of 15 possible) was 13.20 (SD = 3.1). Mean satisfaction rating for the treatment (1–10 likert-type scale with 10 being most satisfactory) was 9.73 (SD =.61). Preliminary efficacy data indicated that the CM group achieved higher abstinence rates compared with the CBT condition (100% vs. 58.33%, p = .007). Abstinent participants increased 1.25 kg (SD = 1.79) their baseline body weight at the end of treatment (p = .001). ConclusionsProviding weight gain prevention strategies and CM within a smoking cessation treatment seems feasible and acceptable. Preliminary data indicated that including CM facilitates tobacco abstinence rates, nevertheless no advantage for CM was found for weight control.
