Summary
The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a chronic care treatment package for smokers
that will address the challenges and opportunities of each phase of the cessation process -
motivation, preparation, cessation, maintenance, and relapse recovery. That is, to develop
treatments for smokers not yet ready to quit, those who are preparing to quit, those actively
engaged in the quitting process and those who have tried to quit but relapsed. To achieve
this goal, this research comprises three distinct research studies, each of which represent a
phase in a comprehensive chronic care treatment model for clinical intervention with smokers
in the primary care setting: the Motivation Study, the Cessation Study, and the Long-term
Quitting Study. The goal of each study is to test and identify effective intervention
components for distinct phases of the smoking cessation process. These components will then
be combined for future research on the effectiveness of this chronic care treatment package.
This study is a 2x2x2x2 factorial design. Participants will be randomized to one of two
levels on four different factors: 1) Nicotine Mini-Lozenge vs. No Mini-Lozenge, 2) Behavioral
Reduction Counseling (intervention: BR) vs. No Behavioral Reduction Counseling, 3) 5Rs
Motivation Counseling (intervention 5 R's) vs. No 5Rs Motivation Counseling, and 4)
Behavioral Activation Counseling (intervention BA) vs. No Behavioral Activation Counseling.
These components have strong theoretical and empirical support, but their relative, additive,
and interactive effects are unknown.
