Filter by:Aim 2: To assess the preliminary feasibility and acceptability of a tailored smoking cessation app prototype (here forward called tailored QuitGuide) among American Indian (AI) smokers. Aim 3: To test feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the tailored QuitGuide for smoking cessation among AIs.
Cannabidiol is a compound found in cannabis plants that is well tolerated, has low abuse liability, and might be an effective medication to promote tobacco cessation. This clinical study will use a validated approach for screening tobacco cessation medications to determine if oral cannabidiol increases short-term tobacco abstinence, and evaluate mechanisms that might explain how cannabidiol alters smoking behavior. Results from this study will provide data on the therapeutic potential of cannabidiol for tobacco cessation.
This study is evaluating the efficacy of Treatment A for short-term smoking cessation through a blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) vs.Treatment B.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of long-term and short-term app-based self-guided psychological interventions to reduce craving and lapse risk in problematic behaviors (compulsive sex, pornography, overeating, gaming, gambling) and substance use (cannabis, nicotine). Participants are randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control. Participants in the intervention group have access to short-term and long-term interventions, whereas those in the control group only have access to the weekly ecological momentary assessment reports. Participants in the intervention group are able to access the intervention materials 5 days after enrollment and receive weekly ecological momentary assessment reports. Those in the control group will be granted access to all intervention materials after five weeks following study enrollment. A questionnaire battery assessments is administered (1) at baseline in the first week following onboarding in; (2) after 5 weeks; (3) after six months. In addition, longitudinal data on several variables related to craving and lapse risk are collected daily using ecological momentary assessment
The primary objective is to examine the influence of sex on sensory effects, appeal, and reinforcing value of nicotine containing e-cigs in popular flavor components; sweet and cooling.
Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) heat and vaporize a nicotine-containing liquid to produce an aerosol that can deliver nicotine to the blood and the brain. ENDS use has increased rapidly in the last decade, especially among youth: over 20% of US high school students are current ENDS users, and there is evidence of nicotine dependence in this population. Federal legislation has been proposed that would restrict ENDS liquid nicotine concentration to make ENDS "significantly less addictive and appealing to youth." However, these and other efforts to curb addiction by limiting nicotine liquid concentration are unlikely to succeed because nicotine emissions from ENDS depend on multiple variables. To achieve the intended public health aims, regulations targeting addiction must focus on nicotine delivery, not nicotine concentration. While nicotine delivery cannot be regulated directly, the rate at which an ENDS emits nicotine, the "nicotine flux", can be regulated and, importantly, predicted based on a few device design and operating variables. However, to date there is no empirical evidence demonstrating the relationship between flux and delivery, nor between flux and the subjective effects that support nicotine dependence. Closing this gap is essential for providing an effective framework for regulating ENDS. At the American University of Beirut, the investigators will assess the relationship between nicotine flux, form, and subjective effects. Participants will use ENDS devices with varying nicotine fluxes and forms. Dependency measures, such as urge to smoke, craving, and abstinence, will be assessed. The outcome will indicate the degree to which nicotine flux/form influence subjective effects related to dependency, puffing intensity, and exposure to toxicants. In summary, this project will provide the empirical evidence needed for public health agencies to use nicotine flux as an encompassing and convenient construct to regulate nicotine delivery from ENDS.
The long-term goal of FRESH Delivers is to fill a critical gap in knowledge on the role of a home-based food delivery social intervention in the elimination of tobacco-caused cancer health disparities. The central hypothesis is that smokers who receive real-time video-based motivational counseling and home-based food deliveries will have greater cotinine-verified 7-day point prevalence abstinence than those who receive real-time video-based motivational counseling alone or home food delivery alone. The rationale for this approach is that studies show increased odds of smoking cessation with increasing food security.
The purpose of this research study is to examine the effects of theta-burst Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on inhibitory control and smoking among adult cigarette smokers. In a double-blind, sham controlled trial, investigators will examine the effects of 12 sessions of cTBS on executive function and smoking behavior.
The study will test the hypothesis that varenicline, when added to group behavioral and texting support for vaping cessation, will improve vaping abstinence rates in adolescents dependent on vaped nicotine over placebo plus group behavioral and texting support for vaping cessation. Approximately 225 adolescents will be randomly assigned to one of three arms (1) varenicline up to 1 mg bid for 12 weeks plus behavioral and texting support for vaping cessation (2) identical appearing placebo plus behavioral and texting support and (3) monitoring only. The primary comparison will be the double-blind, placebo-controlled comparison of vaping cessation rates in those assigned to varenicline vs placebo.
The purpose of the present study is to examine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of "tobacco-free" oral nicotine pouches, at various doses and flavors, in healthy adult smokers. The study will utilize a within-subjects, double-blind design. Upon enrollment, participants will complete 7 dosing conditions: tobacco-flavored pouch (low or high nicotine dose), mint/menthol-flavored pouch (low or high nicotine dose), and fruit-flavored pouch (low or high nicotine dose); participants will also complete a condition where the participants will smoke participants' preferred brand of cigarettes. In each experimental session, participants will complete 2 product-use bouts. In bout 1, the participants will use a single product (pouch or cigarette) for a fixed period under controlled conditions. In bout 2, participants will be given 2 hours to use participants' assigned product ad libitum.
