Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to determine whether combining electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) with nicotine patch treatment will augment abstinence rates compared to either treatment alone.
Attempts to quit cigarette smoking are often accompanied by negative mood and problems in attention and memory. These effects, in turn, may contribute to smoking relapse. This exploratory/developmental project examines the effects of a novel medication, GTS-21, on individuals interested in smoking cessation. It is hypothesized that GTS-21 will reduce negative affect, improve cognition and/or reduce smoking relapse in healthy adult men and women who are chronic cigarette smokers.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate atomoxetine's effects on the rewarding and reinforcing effects of nicotine in a controlled human laboratory study with 24 otherwise healthy nicotine dependent subjects. It is hypothesized that atomoxetine will attenuate the negative effects of nicotine.
Electronic cigarettes have shown promise but have yet to proven effective for smoking cessation. This trial will evaluate the effectiveness of electronic cigarettes in smokers who are trying to quit smoking compared with a standard therapy, the nicotine inhaler. The investigators hypothesize that electronic cigarettes will be comparable to the nicotine inhaler in terms of smoking cessation.
A randomized control trial evaluating a novel smoking cessation intervention in individuals at a an inpatient clinic for clients with addiction and concurrent disorders. The intervention is based on cognitive bias modification, where participants are explicitly or implicitly trained to make avoidance movements by pushing a joystick in response to pictures of smoking, and as a result altering their cognitive biases towards smoking and tobacco dependence. Hypothesis: Participation in the experimental (tobacco-avoidance) condition will induce reduction of smoking, assessed as lower levels of carbon monoxide measured at baseline and 12 week follow-up.
Background: - The success rate for those who attempt to quit using tobacco products is only about 5 percent. Many people who try to quit do so without seeking professional help. Several kinds of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) are available without a prescription. However, prescription drugs and mental health counseling can also help people stop using tobacco. Combining NRT and/or medication with counseling can increase success rates. Researchers want to study what kinds of tobacco cessation treatments are most successful. This may help develop better treatments and determine who will respond best to them. Objectives: - To provide treatment for tobacco use. - To identify factors that affect how well people respond to treatment. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who are trying to stop using tobacco products. Design: - This study will last up to 1 year. Treatment may last up to 36 weeks. Treatment may include counseling, NRT (patches and/or nicotine lozenges), or prescription medication (varenicline or bupropion). Treatment will be determined by a study doctor. - Participants will also have three study visits at 4, 6, and 12 months after starting treatment. Each visit may take up to 2 hours. At the study visits, participants will have different kinds of tests. They will provide blood and urine samples, and have carbon monoxide breath tests. They will also fill out forms about mood and tobacco cravings. - During treatment, participants will have clinic visits once or twice a week for counseling and to monitor tobacco use and withdrawal symptoms. Counseling sessions will work on dealing with tobacco cravings. Each visit may take up to 90 minutes.
The goal of this project is to test the efficacy of a computer-facilitated Screening and Brief Intervention system adapted for Military use (cSBI-M) in reducing substance use among 18- to 25-yr-old U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps personnel (USN/USMCs). The aims and hypotheses of this project are to: 1)Test the effects of cSBI-M on any alcohol use. Hypothesis: Among 18- to 25-yr-old USN/USMCs coming for routine health screenings, those receiving cSBI-M will have lower rates of any alcohol use at follow-ups compared to TAU. 2) Test the effects of cSBI-M separately as a preventive, early therapeutic, and risk-reduction intervention. Hypotheses: (a) Among 18- to 25-yr-old non-drinking USN/USMCs (negative history of past-12-months drinking at baseline), those receiving cSBI-M will have lower rates of drinking initiation and heavy episodic drinking (HED, a.k.a. "binge" drinking). (b) Among 18- to 25-yr-old drinking USN/USMCs, those receiving cSBI-M will have higher rates of drinking cessation, reduced intensity of drinking (e.g., past-3-months drinking days, HED, and driving after drinking or riding with a drinking driver.(3) Test the effects of cSBI-M on tobacco use; explore its effects on other drug use. (4) Assess potential moderators (e.g., age, gender, race/ethnicity, substance use history +/-, parent/sibling/peer substance use), mediators (e.g., Patient to Provider Connectedness,17 perceived harmfulness of alcohol and drug use), and explore cSBI-M's mechanism of action. Hypotheses: among 12- to 18-yr-old patients coming for routine care, those receiving c-ASBI will have 1) lower rates of any alcohol use, of drinking initiation and riding with a driver who has been drinking, and 2) higher rates of drinking cessation, reduced intensity of drinking, heavy episodic drinking and driving after drinking or riding with a driver who has been drinking.
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of a computerized, self-directed Motivational Enhancement Therapy program for adolescent substance use (iMET), in comparison to clinician-delivered MET and Treatment As Usual (TAU), on treatment engagement and substance use. The investigators hypothesize that both iMET and MET will be more effective than TAU in engaging/retaining patients in treatment and in reducing substance use during a 12-month follow-up period. The investigators also hypothesize that Self-directed iMET will be as effective as the clinician-guided MET in increasing treatment engagement and abstinence during the 12-months follow-up period.
The goal of this project is to test the effectiveness of a computer-facilitated alcohol screening and brief intervention (c-ASBI) system for 12- to 18-year-old primary care patients in a multi-site, randomized comparative effectiveness trial. The investigators hypothesize that, among 12- to 18-year olds patients coming for annual well-care, those receiving c-ASBI will have lower rates of any alcohol use at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups compared to Treatment As Usual (TAU).
The purpose of this study is to examine the role of progesterone (a hormone found in both men and women) on stopping cocaine use. The study will examine whether the medication, in combination with behavior therapy will decrease cocaine use, cigarette smoking, withdrawal symptoms, impulsivity and stress.
