We beta-tested the feasibility of a remotely delivered, ANAI family-based financial incentive cessation intervention. Methods: We enrolled 10 \"dyads\" (i.e., one adult ANAI person who smokes [PWS] and one adult family member of their choice) across Alaska into a culturally tailored 6-month intervention (NCT05209451). PWS completed expired carbon monoxide, salivary cotinine, and self-reported abstinence measures at home during six smoking status check-ins. Both dyad members received financial incentives in escalating amounts for confirmed PWS abstinence. Participants completed baseline and end-of-study surveys. Results: Eight of the 10 PWS were women, their average age was 45 years (range = 34-57), and mean daily cigarettes smoked was 13 (range = 3-20). Five of the 10 family members were women, and four currently also smoked. Of the 60 check-ins possible among PWS participants, 41 (68 %) were completed; five (50 %) completed all check-ins. Despite minor difficulties with PWS internet connection, lost test kits, and delayed payment receipt, all participants were able to complete check-ins and received payments earned. Five PWS were abstinent at the final 6-month check-in, and two PWS were abstinent at all check-ins. Five PWS completed the end-of-study survey; four reported the intervention was helpful and would recommend it to others. Conclusion: A family-based financial incentive intervention for smoking cessation with ANAI families appears feasible. Next, a randomized controlled trial will be conducted statewide to evaluate effectiveness and inform future implementation needs.","journal":"Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications","year":2025,"id":563063,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":0,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.8605,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2025-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1133114,"name":"Antonia M Young","orcid":"0000-0002-5737-4260","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":277505,"name":"Anne I.
