Interventions
Enhanced Courage to Quit
Participants will engage in a version of the smoking cessation treatment "Courage to Quit" that has been optimized for implementation in community behavioral health clinics. The group will run over a period of 3 months, where participants will learn behavioral and cognitive skills for smoking cessation and/or reduction. Special attention will be given to the unique needs of the community, such as technology options or more flexible treatment models. The goal of this intervention is to prove that it is feasible to implement, and can create enhanced engagement and smoking outcomes for adults who smoke (AWS) and have fewer socioeconomic resources.
