Interventions

  • Enhanced Courage to Quit — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will engage in a version of the smoking cessation treatment "Courage to Quit" that has been optimized for implementation in community behavioral health clinics. The group will run over a period of 3 months, where participants will learn behavioral and cognitive skills for smoking cessation and/or reduction. Special attention will be given to the unique needs of the community, such as technology options or more flexible treatment models. The goal of this intervention is to prove that it is feasible to implement, and can create enhanced engagement and smoking outcomes for adults who smoke (AWS) and have fewer socioeconomic resources.

Study Details

The goal of this study is to: partner with Respiratory Health Association and determine barriers and unmet smoking cessation treatment needs from leaders in behavioral health organizations, treatment programs and adults who smoke (AWS) in Chicago. This will be accomplished by establishing a community advisory board (CAB) and pilot testing a community-informed smoking cessation treatment within a community behavioral health organization to determine its feasibility after addressing implementation issues.
