Addressing Psychological Risk Factors Underlying Smoking Persistence in COPD Patients: The Fresh Start Study
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Copd, Smoking Cessation, Nicotine Dependence, Tobacco Use, Cigarette Smoking
In brief
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is caused primarily by smoking and smoking cessation is the first-line treatment for slowing disease progression. Despite this, nearly 50% of COPD patients continue to smoke following diagnosis. Smokers with COPD report high rates of co-occurring conditions - nicotine dependence, depression, and anxiety - which serve as barriers to quitting. The current study will pilot test a behavioral intervention designed to target the common psychological factors underlying these co-occurring conditions and foster smoking cessation among COPD patients.
