Cohort profile for the Loma Linda University Health BREATHE programme: a model to study continuously incentivised employee smoking cessation.

Our profile of the LLUH BREATHE cohort indicates that after 5 years of follow-up in a prospective cohort study (2014-2019), continuously incentivised smoking cessation produced a 74% participation (95% CI (71% to 77%)) in employer-sponsored smoking cessation attempts that were occurring less than a year after the incentive was offered. The cohort can be purposed to examine the effect of continuously incentivised cessation on cessation outcomes, health plan utilisation/costs, use of electronic nicotine delivery systems, and COVID-19 outcomes.
