NCT01162239

Brief Summary

The research is based on a chronic disorder model of cigarette smoking which suggests that long-term treatment targeted to prevent relapse may be useful. Based on this model, the investigators have developed a relapse prevention treatment to intervene on five areas important in relapse prevention, including fluctuating motivation, depression, withdrawal, weight gain, and social support. This treatment protocol has produced high long-term abstinence rates when implemented in a clinical research setting. The current study will evaluate the treatment model when implemented in a medical outpatient setting.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Number of Participants With Reported 7-day Point Prevalence Abstinence at Week 12

    Point prevalent abstinence is defined as biochemically verified (confirmed carbon dioxide (CO) \< 8 parts per million (ppm)) self-reported abstinence from smoking cigarettes in the past 7 days. Smoking status was then categorized as either Abstinent or Not Abstinent.

    12 weeks following treatment initiation

  • Number of Participants With Reported 7-day Point Prevalence Abstinence at Week 24

    Point prevalent abstinence is defined as biochemically verified (confirmed carbon dioxide (CO) \< 8 ppm) self-reported abstinence from smoking cigarettes in the past 7 days. Smoking status was then categorized as either Abstinent or Not Abstinent.

    24 weeks following treatment initiation

  • Number of Participants With Reported 7-day Point Prevalence Abstinence at Week 52

    Point prevalent abstinence is defined as biochemically verified (confirmed carbon dioxide (CO) \< 8 ppm) self-reported abstinence from smoking cigarettes in the past 7 days. Smoking status was then categorized as either Abstinent or Not Abstinent.

    52 weeks following treatment initiation

  • Number of Participants With Reported 7-day Point Prevalence Abstinence at Follow-up Week 64

    Point prevalent abstinence is defined as biochemically verified (confirmed carbon dioxide (CO) \< 8 ppm) self-reported abstinence from smoking cigarettes in the past 7 days. Smoking status was then categorized as either Abstinent or Not Abstinent.

    64 weeks following treatment initiation

  • Number of Participants With Reported 7-day Point Prevalence Abstinence at Follow-up Week 104

    Point prevalent abstinence is defined as biochemically verified (confirmed carbon dioxide (CO) \< 8 ppm) self-reported abstinence from smoking cigarettes in the past 7 days. Smoking status was then categorized as either Abstinent or Not Abstinent.
