Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Smoking, Smoking Cessation, Adherence, Nicotine Dependence, Motivation

In brief

Many smokers fail to take their smoking cessation medication as recommended. This research is designed to identify treatments that improve the use of cessation medications and to determine whether an increase in medication use results in increased cessation success. This research will also identify treatments that help people stay quit after a quit attempt and will pioneer more efficient research methods.
