A Stepped Care Approach to Treating Tobacco Use in Rural Veterans

Starting soon · Phase 2/Phase 3

Conditions studied: Tobacco Cessation

In brief

Tobacco use remains prevalent among Veterans. Although effective smoking cessation interventions exist, long-term term quit rates remain sub-optimal. The project will investigate the feasibility of a stepped care approach to treating tobacco use that includes enhancements based on initial response to treatment to augment the investigators' existing tailored tobacco treatment intervention.
