Identifying Effective Treatment for Veterans Unwilling to Quit Smoking
Sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development
Summary
This project will generate knowledge about the effectiveness of Enhanced Chronic Care, an intervention designed to enhance treatment use and smoking abstinence in Veterans who are initially unwilling to quit. Enhanced Chronic Care provides ongoing motivational interventions and interpersonal support designed to promote readiness to quit smoking. Enhanced Chronic Care will be compared with Standard Care (brief advice to quit once per year) on criteria that are of great clinical and public health importance: use of cessation treatment and smoking abstinence. It is expected that Enhanced Chronic Care will increase treatment use and smoking abstinence relative to Standard Care.

Interventions
Enhanced Chronic Care
Enhanced Chronic Care involves four chronic care calls per year. Enhanced Chronic Care is designed to help participants explore their goals and concerns with regard to smoking, engage in a nondirective, supportive, motivational interventions, and provide information about evidence-based smoking treatment available to them and ways to initiate treatment (i.e., warm hand-off from a clinical provider).
Standard Care
Standard Care involves one call per year. During the Standard Care call, participants will be encouraged to quit smoking, reminded of the cessation treatment available to them, and provided with a number to call should they become interested in treatment.
