Post Acute Cardiac Event Smoking (PACES) Study
Sponsor: Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute
Summary
Summary of the Project : Quitting smoking following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) can reduce mortality up to 50%. However, depression and smoking are highly co-morbid and depressed mood may interfere with cessation and independently predicts mortality. Thus, a single, integrated treatment for both smoking and depression could be highly effective in reducing post-acute coronary syndrome mortality. Behavioral Activation (BA) is a well established treatment for depression and has recently shown promise as a treatment for smoking cessation. The investigators systematically developed an intervention integrating gold standard smoking cessation counseling with existing BA based mood management techniques for post-ACS smokers; Behavioral Activation Treatment for Cardiac Smokers (BAT-CS). Objective: For this R01 the investigators will evaluate the efficacy of using a single, integrated treatment that targets both depressed mood and smoking (BAT-CS).

All participants will receive one hour standard smoking cessation counseling during their hospitalization for an acute coronary syndrome. Participants will be randomized 1 week after discharge. Those assigned to BAT-CS condition will receive 5 more counseling sessions over the 12 weeks after discharge. The first will be up to one hour and will be conducted in person. The next 4 sessions will occur by phone and will take about 30 minutes. Post-discharge sessions will be focused on smoking cessation and mood management using behavioral activation techniques. Participants will be offered the nicotine patch if medically cleared.
Smoking Cessation and Health & Wellness
All participants will receive one hour of standard smoking cessation counseling during their hospitalization for an acute coronary syndrome. Participants will be randomized 1 week after discharge. Those assigned to the Smoking Cessation plus Health and Wellness condition will receive 5 more counseling sessions over the 12 weeks after hospital discharge. The first will be up to one hour and will be conducted in person. The next 4 sessions will occur over the phone and will take about 30 minutes.
