Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if Intensive Referral Intervention increases motivation to quit cigarette smoking and quitting-related behaviors in probationers and also to determine if Intensive Referral Intervention improves short-term substance use outcomes in probationers with substance use disorder.

Description:

This is a longitudinal study of adults on probation who have a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and smoke cigarettes. One-half of probation officers will be trained in the Intensive Referral Intervention (IRI) while one-half will deliver Standard Practice which is to encourage support group attendance. Research staff will assess fidelity to the IRI in trained probation officers. The investigators propose to enroll 150 probationers over a four month period and complete 3 and 6-month follow-up interviews to assess smoking and substance use measures.
