Join us on Thursday, February 26th, 2026 at 1 p.m. ET for a live virtual webinar exploring how Contingency Management (CM) can be applied to support tobacco cessation, particularly for people with mental health and substance use conditions.
CM is an effective evidence-based intervention for changing substance use behaviors. CM works by offering immediate, tangible rewards (such as vouchers or incentives) when individuals meet treatment goals—an approach shown to drive meaningful and sustained behavior change.
Webinar objectives:
- Describe efficacy of and core principles of CM and how it supports tobacco cessation in behavioral health settings
- Identify practical strategies and considerations for implementing CM to address tobacco use at the state, system, or organizational level
- Access and apply tools and resources to support planning, implementation, and evaluation of a CM program in their own setting
Presenters:
- Tyler Erath, PhD, Assistant Professor, Vermont Center on Behavior and Health
- Stephen Higgins, PhD, Director, Vermont Center on Behavior and Health
