CSP #519 - Integrating Practice Guidelines for Smoking Cessation Into Mental Health Care for PTSD (SCP)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Integrated Care for Smoking Cessation in PTSD patients and Standard of Care for Mental Health and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 943 participants across 11 sites.
Detailed Summary
The primary study objective is to conduct a prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial that compares the effectiveness of two approaches for delivering smoking cessation treatment for veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). An approach where smoking cessation treatment is integrated into mental health care for PTSD and delivered by mental health providers (experimental condition) will be compared to specialized smoking cessation clinic referral (VA's usual standard of care). Secondary study objectives are to (a) compare the cost outcomes and cost-effectiveness of IC versus USC, (b) identify treatment process variables that explain (mediate) observed differences in smoking abstinence rates for the two study conditions, and (c) determine whether cessation from smoking is associated with worsening of symptoms of PTSD and/or depression.
