Results (A1): Client Typology
Six distinct client types emerged from the analysis
•T1: Mums to be–mainly first time mums; child’s health paramount; often introduced strict smoke-free restrictions in the home and abstained from drinking at the same time; confidence and motivation often high; limited value attached to quit aids. Success high
•T2: Opportunists–light smokers, relatively confident of their ability to give up unaided; see the scheme as a financial opportunity, response often perfunctory and atypical. Success high
•T3: Enthusiastic amateurs–history of quit attempts but often unplanned, and poorly organised; require structure to provide discipline and focus, therefore CO testing often more important than the actual incentive; often cut down before come to scheme but struggling to get to zero; the group that appear to benefit most from the scheme. Success high
•T4: Novice quitters–typically younger, first time mums still living within the family home; limited motivation, looking for an easy solution, NRT aids often their primary interest; incentives of limited value because still dependent on parents for financial support; the group likely to benefit least from the scheme. Success low
•T5: Breadline survivors–most socially and financially disadvantaged; typically single mums with unsupportive partners and relatively low self-esteem; place particular emphasis on the financial rewards, needed for staples such as groceries; relapse commonplace and sometimes characterised by conflict. Success low
•T6: Impulse shoppers–limited commitment, drawn into scheme when making speculative enquiries; may have tried numerous times in past but failed –low self-esteem, don’t expect to succeed but believe they should try –pregnant again.
