PATH Partnering to Achieve Tobacco-free Health

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Smoking Cessation

In brief

The overall aim of this 5-year project is to capitalize on the strong theoretical and promising empirical evidence for Acceptance \& Commitment Therapy (ACT) as an intervention for smoking cessation by comparing the effectiveness of ACT against standard cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) counseling when both are offered with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and delivered within a real world healthcare setting.
