An Integrated Approach to Smoking Cessation in Severe Mental Illness (SMI)
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Smoking Cessation
In brief
This 3-year study will involve the design and small-scale clinical trial of a behavioral treatment program for smoking cessation in people with severe mental illness (called Behavioral Treatment for Smoking Cessation in Serious and Persistent Mental Illness or BTSCS) in two psychosocial rehabilitation programs (PRPs) in Baltimore. Our aims are: (1) Develop intervention materials and examine feasibility, acceptability, and safety; (2) Measure the effects of the intervention at post-treatment and 3-month follow-up on rates of smoking cessation, number of quit attempts, rates of smoking reduction and intention/motivation to quit smoking.
