Behavioral Activation for Smoking Cessation in Veterans With PTSD
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Behavioral Activation Therapy, Health and Smoking Education, and 1 other intervention for Tobacco Dependence and PTSD. Completed, enrolled 124 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine whether behavioral activation as an adjuvant to standard smoking cessation treatment improves smoking cessation outcomes among veterans with PTSD relative to a comparably intense combination of standard smoking cessation treatment + health and smoking education. It is expected that behavioral activation will produce more successful results than health and smoking education when paired with standard smoking cessation treatment.
