This ASH webinar on Using financial incentives is the first instalment in the Living Learning Series, which follows on from the Ending Smoking Inequality report. Across six lunchtime sessions, the series will showcase practical, evidence-informed interventions that are already being delivered to reduce smoking inequalities and increase quit rates.
By bringing together academic expertise with the experience of local authorities and frontline services, the series will help bridge the gap between research evidence and implementation in practice.
The series is chaired by John Ford, Director of the Health Equity Evidence Centre and Senior Clinical Lecturer in Health Equity at Queen Mary University of London, and delivered collaboratively with the Health Equity Evidence Centre.
