Filter by:At two sites (Boston University and the University of Texas at Austin, under the MPI direction of Drs. Otto and Smits) the investigators propose to randomly assign 240 adult smokers who have achieved short-term abstinence following open treatment with a 4 session cognitive-behavior therapy program combined with medication (nicotine patch, varenicline, or bupropion, selected openly) to (1) d-cycloserine augmentation of multimodal cue exposure therapy (CET), or (2) placebo augmentation of multimodal CET. This Stage II project is designed to: (1) evaluate the short-term and long-term efficacy of the experimental intervention, (2) further test putative mechanisms of change, (3) explore possible moderator effects of theoretically-relevant variables, and (4) use innovative, multimodal CET strategies. Putative mediators and smoking abstinence will be assessed during the intervention period and up to 6 months following the quit attempt.
The overall goals of this study are to 1) assess awareness of interest in the use of pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation in Croatia and Slovenia, countries in Central Europe with very high smoking prevalence, and 2) investigate whether cytisine is at least as feasible and effective as varenicline in helping smokers to quit in a real-life setting: family medicine practices in Croatia and Slovenia. The investigators propose to survey patients from 40 primary care practices (20 in Croatia and 20 in Slovenia) to assess desire to quit smoking and awareness and interest in pharmacotherapy. Additionally, 380 patients with interest in quitting smoking will be randomly assigned to use varenicline or cytisine to help quit smoking. The investigators hypothesize that cytisine is at least as feasible and effective as varenicline in helping smokers from primary care practices in Croatia and Slovenia to quit smoking.
Patients with COPD who participated in the second rehabilitation program in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation unit will be included in the study. Pulmonary function tests, arterial blood gases, mMRC dyspnea perception, 6-minute walking distance, disease-specific (SGRQ) quality of life and hospital anxiety depression scale values will be compared.
This study will examine the benefits of involving partner in a Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) program for tobacco and alcohol for women treated for breast cancer. Using a two-arm randomized trial (couple brief motivational intervention (CBMI) versus individual brief motivational intervention (IBMI) with repeated measures at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months.
Brief advice combined with active referral to smoking cessation (SC) services increases quitting. We aim to strengthen the effect of combined intervention by using interactive communication technologies and nicotine replacement therapy sampling (NRT-S).
The purpose of this study is to learn if a mindfulness-based smoking cessation smartphone app can help people quit smoking and stay on antiretroviral therapies.
The goal of this study is to develop and pilot test a brief intervention to increase motivation to quit and smoking cessation treatment engagement among smokers with chronic pain.
To determine treatment fidelity for a smartband/smartphone-based smoking monitoring, notification and brief mindfulness intervention.
Main Objective The main objective of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of a mobile phone-based intervention in reducing relapse ate among recent quitters who are attending the smoking cessation program in Jazan. Besides this, the study will achieve the following objective: To identify the timing and different factors associated with relapse process among recent quitters during first 6 months of quitting.
The present study will examine (1) effectiveness of a combined intervention of AWARD advice, active referral, instant messaging and optional cocktail intervention to increase abstinence using a sequential multiple assignment randomised trial (SMART) and (2) explore the use of CBPR model to build capacity and to engage community partners in taking on this important public health issue for sustainability in the community. In addition, a process evaluation will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of the recruitment activity and how it is linked with the overall program outcomes.
