Filter by:The investigators' goal is to identify the most appropriate smoking cessation treatments for smokers based on genetic information. Smokers try to quit smoking but relapses are common.
There is an important need for effective smoking cessation programs that both (a) promote the effective use of pharmacological aids, such as nicotine replacement products and bupropion, and (b) provide cognitive-behavioral support for stopping smoking.The Internet is an increasingly attractive intervention medium for delivering behavior change interventions, including smoking cessation.This study examined smoking cessation rates among adults participating in a randomized controlled trial of the Smokefree Partners: 21 Days to Freedom ™ program, a theoretically based, online smoking cessation program that included message tailoring and interactivity combined with the live personal support of a smoking cessation coach. Coaching support was provided almost entirely asynchronously via prescripted but individually tailored emails.
Using the NIH-funded Way to Health platform, the investigators will conduct this smoking cessation RCT among Vitality/Discovery beneficiaries. The investigators will be able to determine the effectiveness of 4 different interventions aimed at smoking cessation, two of which are incentive structures that are each grounded in behavioral economic principles. The other interventions will determine the effectiveness of various cessation aids, including electronic cigarettes and text messaging, on smoking cessation. This study will be conducted as an opt-out procedure where participants are automatically enrolled in the program but have the choice to unenroll if they so chose. This pragmatic approach will allow us to investigate the effects of such programs in an employee based population that can be easily mimicked in other employee based populations.
This project proposes two aims. The first aim is to evaluate the efficacy of a family-focused intervention in promoting smoking cessation in Chinese and Vietnamese male smokers using a 2-arm cluster randomized controlled trial with assessments at baseline, 6, and 12 months targeting 360 smoker-family dyads. Half of the participants will be assigned to the proposed intervention, and the remaining half will be assigned to an attention-control condition where they will receive education on healthy eating and physical activity. The second aim is to explore mediators to identify key psychosocial and behavioral processes that underlie how the intervention affects the processes of quitting and maintaining abstinence in Chinese and Vietnamese smokers.
This study is a 2-arm randomized clinical trial (RCT). Participants motivated to quit smoking will be randomized to one of two treatments: 1) a Modern Usual Care (M-UC) vs. 2) Abstinence-Optimized Cessation Treatment (AOCT). The components for the optimized treatment have strong theoretical and empirical support from the investigators previous screening studies.
Educational research study where goal is to test educational materials that help people make informed decisions about lung cancer screening.
The purpose of this study is to develop and test a self-help smoking cessation treatment for patients receiving a lung cancer screening computed tomography (CT) scan.
The overall goal of the study is to evaluate how motivation and readiness for change are influenced in the context of a smoking cessation attempt. A total of 60 adult (i.e. age 18-55) smokers (N=40 with ADHD; N=20 without ADHD) who are interested in quitting will be enrolled into a 3-arm trial allocated as follows. Twenty of the ADHD smokers and the 20 non-ADHD smokers will be assigned to a traditional 8-week contingency management intervention in which monetary payments will be made contingent upon biologically verified evidence of smoking abstinence. The 20 additional ADHD smokers will be assigned to a treatment-as-usual condition (nicotine replacement; supportive counseling). During the treatment phase, subjects will be required to answer questions 4x/week in their daily lives via an EMA (Ecological Momentary Assessment). Specific Aim 1: To assess motivation to quit smoking and readiness for change prior to a quit attempt in treatment seeking ADHD and non-ADHD smokers. Hypothesis 1a: The investigators hypothesize that prior to a quit attempt, smokers with ADHD will exhibit significantly lower levels of intrinsic motivation to quit, and equal or higher levels of extrinsic motivation to quit compared to smokers without ADHD. Hypothesis 1b: The investigators hypothesize that smokers with ADHD will exhibit relatively less readiness for change than smokers without ADHD. Specific Aim 2: To assess how baseline levels of motivation to quit and readiness for change are influenced during a quit attempt as a function of both ADHD status and treatment modality. Hypothesis 2a. The investigators hypothesize that the CM intervention will result in relatively greater change in extrinsic motivation to quit versus intrinsic motivation to quit, and that this effect will be more pronounced among ADHD smokers. Hypothesis 2b: The investigators hypothesize that overall motivation to quit (intrinsic and extrinsic) and readiness for change will be significantly influenced by the CM intervention versus treatment as usual among ADHD smokers. Exploratory Aim 1: To assess the relative efficacy of a CM intervention versus treatment as usual in smokers with ADHD. The investigators hypothesize that CM will be more effective for promoting short-term (4-8 weeks) smoking abstinence, as well as for promoting longer-term (3-6 months) smoking cessation. Exploratory Aim 2: To assess the associations among smoking withdrawal/craving, affect, ADHD symptoms, and motivation to quit/readiness for change. The investigators hypothesize that higher levels of motivation and readiness for change will be associated with lower levels of self-reported withdrawal, craving, and negative affect.
Our goal is to study self-monitoring of smoking as a means to reduce smoking in pregnant women. Investigators hypothesize that more regular self-monitoring, text messages and feedback as provided by home carbon monoxide monitoring device combined with medical feedback on results will reduce smoking during pregnancy compared to only receiving text message and no self-monitoring by home monitoring device and no feedback by home carbon monoxide monitoring device . The periconceptual period is a life period, where given the immediacy of the fetus and future child, a pregnant woman is willing to try and modify potentially harmful behaviors.
The researchers are testing if counseling alone or counseling plus over-the-counter nicotine replacement therapies (NRT), like the patch,gum, or lozenge, helps African American non-daily smokers quit smoking.
