Women Engaging in Quitting Smoking Together (WE QUIT)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Smoking Cessation

In brief

The long-term goal of this program of research is to develop and disseminate an efficacious intervention for weight concern that will significantly increase smoking cessation rates among women. The overall objective of this project is to develop this intervention and modify it based on piloting and feedback to ensure its feasibility and acceptability. These objectives will be accomplished by pursuing the following specific aim: 1) develop a group-based distress tolerance treatment for weight concern (DT-W) in female smokers and a comparison health education (HE) program and pilot both treatments with three groups of 10 (total N = 30) female weight-concerned smokers (2 DT-W groups, 1 HE group).
