My Path to Quit Tobacco

The overarching goal of this program of research is to reduce smoking-related health disparities by increasing smoking cessation among Black adults. The goal of this research proposal is to determine whether more intensive, culturally specific, evidence-based interventions are more effective at promoting long-term cessation and other key patient-centered outcomes compared to the usual evidence-based standard of care: services provided by a state-run quitline. This study compares the relative effectiveness of three different treatments (Standard, Intensive, and Intensive Incentivized) on long-term smoking cessation (biochemically confirmed abstinence from combusted tobacco at 26-weeks post-target quit day) among Black adults who smoke and want to quit.

Inclusion Criteria: * self-identify as Black * smoke cigarettes (greater than or equal to 1 cigarette on greater than or equal to 4 days/week) * motivated to quit smoking * willing to discontinue any non-study smoking cessation pharmacotherapy use during study treatment. Exclusion Criteria: * currently taking bupropion for non-smoking cessation reasons
