Harm Reduction for Tobacco Smoking With Support of Tobacco-Replacing Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Smoking, Tobacco

In brief

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of HaRTS-TRENDS compared to standard care (i.e., brief advice to quit + referral to state quit line that offers free NRT) in facilitating a biochemically verified nonsmoking and b) reducing smoking-related harm as measured by concentration of urinary tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs). Potential underlying mechanisms of changes in the proposed outcomes--including nicotine craving and smoking reduction, respectively--will be tested.
