Biopsychosocial Predictors of Nicotine Relapse
Sponsor: University of Cyprus
Summary
This study aims to investigate the associations between emotion regulation ability, stress-induced neural activity changes, and susceptibility to relapse in smokers attempting to quit. Participants will undergo assessments of emotion regulation, neural activity via quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), and stress responses before and during a 24-hour nicotine abstinence period. They will then participate in a computerized smoking cessation intervention, and their abstinence status will be monitored for 6 months.

Interventions
Flexiquit Computerized Smoking Cessation Program
Flexiquit is an avatar-led, self-directed computerized program delivering evidence-based techniques to assist with smoking cessation. It includes motivational interviewing, psychoeducation on nicotine addiction, cognitive-behavioral strategies for coping with cravings, relapse prevention, and stress/emotion regulation skills training. Participants receive the program over 6 months and their adherence is monitored. The program provides tailored feedback to support abstinence.
