Summary

This purpose of this study is to test the telephone delivery of a cognitive behavioral intervention (CBI), for smoking cessation among Veteran smokers with chronic pain

Detailed description

Veterans with chronic pain represent an important population in which to focus smoking cessation efforts. Smoking cessation among patients with chronic medical illnesses substantially decreases morbidity and mortality; yet, many patients (\>50%) with chronic pain continue to smoke. This study aims to test the telephone delivery of a cognitive behavioral intervention (CBI), for smoking cessation among Veteran smokers with chronic pain. Proposed is a randomized comparative effectiveness trial with a two-group design in which 370 Veteran smokers with chronic pain will be randomized to either: 1) smoking cessation plus CBI (SMK-CBI), an intervention that includes a proactive tele-health intervention combining evidence-based smoking cessation counseling augmented with behavioral approaches for coping with pain and a tele-medicine clinic for accessing nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), or 2) smoking cessation telephone counseling control (SMK Control), a contact-equivalent control that provides standard smoking cessation telephone counseling and a tele-medicine clinic for accessing NRT.
