Introduction Over 70% of people experiencing homelessness report current cigarette smoking. We conducted a randomized controlled trial of an extended (6-month) contingency management (CM) intervention for smoking cessation among adults experiencing homelessness and who were engaged in primary care. We examined experiences and perspectives on cessation among a subset of participants in the trial.Methods The CM group received escalating incentives …
Digitally delivered contingency management during methadone treatment for people with co-occurring cocaine and opioid use
This project will inform the ancillary content of methadone maintenance treatment for the many patients with substance use disorders that extend beyond opioids, specifically for those who use cocaine. The study's design will provide scientifically valid information about the effectiveness of digitally delivered CM, while app usage data and qualitative data from participants will be a rich resource for interpreting outcome results. CM is the only …
Socioeconomic Disparities in Telephone-Based Treatment of Tobacco Dependence
Objectives. We examined socioeconomic disparities in tobacco dependence treatment outcomes from a free, proactive telephone counseling quitline. Methods. We delivered cognitive–behavioral treatment and nicotine patches to 6626 smokers and examined socioeconomic differences in demographic, clinical, environmental, and treatment use factors. We used logistic regressions and generalized estimating equations (GEE) to model abstinence and account for …
In-Person and Telephone Treatment of Tobacco Dependence
Objectives. We compared participant characteristics and abstinence outcomes of smokers who chose in-person or telephone tobacco dependence treatment. Methods. We provided the same treatment content to 7267 smokers in Arkansas between 2005 and 2008 who self-selected treatment modality; examined demographic, clinical, environmental, and treatment utilization differences between modalities; and modeled outcomes and participants’ choice of modality w…
Socioeconomic Disparities in Community-Based Treatment of Tobacco Dependence
Objectives. We examined socioeconomic disparities in a community-based tobacco dependence treatment program. Methods. We provided cognitive-behavioral treatment and nicotine patches to 2739 smokers. We examined treatment use, clinical and environmental, and treatment outcome differences by socioeconomic status (SES). We used logistic regressions to model end-of-treatment and 3- and 6-month treatment outcomes. Results. The probability of abstinenc…
Smoke-Free Medical Facility Campus Legislation
Although medical facilities restrict smoking inside, many people continue to smoke outside, creating problems with second-hand smoke, litter, fire risks, and negative role modeling. In 2005, Arkansas passed legislation prohibiting smoking on medical facility campuses. Hospital administrators (N=113) were surveyed pre- and post-implementation. Administrators reported more support and less difficulty than anticipated. Actual cost was 10-50% of anti…
Smoking Cessation Intervention for Female Prisoners
Objectives. We tested the efficacy of a combined pharmacologic and behavioral smoking cessation intervention among women in a state prison in the southern United States. Methods. The study design was a randomized controlled trial with a 6-month waitlist control group. The intervention was a 10-week group intervention combined with nicotine replacement therapy. Two hundred and fifty participants received the intervention, and 289 were in the contr…
