Wellness Intervention for Smokers with HIV
WISH is delivered remotely by mobile phone (voice and text message). WISH addresses both smoking and a number of other personally relevant health behaviors (such as treatment engagement, medication adherence, stress and mood management, social support, alcohol use, etc.), making it relevant and engaging to all, not just those ready to stop smoking. For those not yet ready to quit, WISH is designed to build and strengthen motivation and self-confidence for quitting, while smokers also work on other personal health goals. Once ready to quit smoking, participants receive evidence-based cognitive-behavioral counseling and encouragement to access nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) or other appropriate pharmacotherapy through usual care VA procedures. Medications will not be prescribed or dispensed by the study.
