About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
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.
The group in the trial
- Pilot InterventionTreatment being tested
The participants in this arm will take part in a pilot test of a community-targeted smoking cessation treatment. This treatment will be evidence-based smoking treatment using cognitive behavioral and motivational strategies implemented according to findings from Phase 1 of this study. The original intervention has four core sessions that will be modified accordingly to fit community needs. Participants will complete pre- and post-session questionnaires regarding their smoking status, quit attempts, use of smoking cessation aids, and other surveys.
