Examining the Effect of the Nicotine Patch in Male and Female Smokers - 3
Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Drug Addiction, Smoking Cessation
In brief
Treatment studies have demonstrated that current smoking cessation techniques are less effective for women. The purpose of this study is to determine the role that gender plays in the effectiveness of nicotine replacement therapy. In addition, the purpose of this study is to determine whether men and women differ in their response to smoking-related stimuli (e.g., taste or smell of a lit cigarette). Conclusions drawn from this study may help to improve cessation interventions for all smokers, particularly women.
