Vaping and Smoking Project in People With Schizophrenia
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Acute Abstinence From Cigarettes vs E-cigarettes (ENDS)
In brief
The proposed research will characterize withdrawal among people with schizophrenia who vape daily compared to people with schizophrenia who smoke combustible cigarettes daily, filling critical gaps in the understanding of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) dependence and contributing to the development of vaping cessation interventions amongst people with schizophrenia, the leading preventable cause of death in the US.
