Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Participants Smoking-Abstinent for 7 Days, 26 Weeks Post Quit Date — 5; 1 Participants

Summary

The objective of the proposed project is to develop a novel, behavioral approach to smoking cessation that can be integrated with residential drug use treatment for low income substance using smokers with elevated depressive symptoms. The approach utilizes behavioral activation strategies which have been shown to reduce smoking among community samples and which can be easily targeted for the particular needs of low income substance users.
