DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Background. Cigarette smoking is the most lethal substance use disorder in the United States in terms of morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, smoking cessation treatment including smoking cessation aids such as nicotine replacement therapy are greatly underutilized. There is a special need to develop effective interventions that target rural Veterans. Veterans living in rural areas are at particular high risk for smoking related morbidity and mortality. Rural Veterans are significantly less likely to access intensive clinic-based smoking cessation care. While the efforts of our group and others have expanded reach of smoking cessation treatment options beyond the clinic to include tele-medicine, cognitive- behavioral telephone counseling, and internet based interventions, it has been suggested that there is a need of more innovative and intensive approaches to smoking cessation in order to improve quit rates, particularly in settings where treatment options are limited such as rural areas. The use of intensive behavioral therapies, such as contingency management (CM), may be a useful component for smoking cessation interventions among rural Veterans. CM has shown efficacy for reducing smoking in other difficult-to-treat populations. Project Objectives. The primary goal of the current study is o evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention that combines evidenced based treatment for smoking cessation with smart-phone based, portable contingency management on smoking rates compared to a contact control intervention in a randomized controlled trial among rural Veteran smokers. Specifically, Veterans will be randomized to receive Abstinence Reinforcement Therapy (ART) which combines evidenced based cognitive-behavioral telephone counseling (TC), a tele-medicine clinic for access to nicotine replacement (NRT), and mobile contingency management (mCM) or a control condition (i.e., TC and NRT alone) that will provide controls for therapist, medication, time and attention effects. The specific aims and hypotheses are: AIM 1: To evaluate the impact of ART on rates of abstinence from cigarettes at 3-month, 6- month, and 12-month post-treatment follow-ups. Hypothesis 1: Abstinence rates will be significantly higher among Veterans randomized to the ART-based intervention than those randomized to the control arm. AIM 2: To evaluate the relative cost-effectiveness of the ART intervention. Hypothesis 2: ART based treatment will result in greater cost-effectiveness compared to the control condition as measured by the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. AIM 3: To evaluate potential treatment mediators including self-efficacy-related mechanisms. Hypothesis 3: Increased abstinence associated with ART will be partially mediated by increased self-efficacy compared to the contact-control condition. Project Methods. Proposed is a four year project in which 300 Veteran smokers will be randomized to receive either a multi-component Abstinence Reinforcement Therapy or a contact control intervention. Participating patients will be surveyed at 3-months, 6-months and 12-months post-randomization. The primary outcome of the trial is prolonged self-reported abstinence at the 6 month follow-up verified by cotinine assay.

描述（由申请人提供）： 项目背景。就发病率和死亡率而言，吸烟是美国最致命的物质使用障碍。不幸的是，包括尼古丁替代疗法等戒烟辅助手段在内的戒烟治疗并未得到充分利用。特别需要制定针对农村退伍军人的有效干预措施。生活在农村地区的退伍军人与吸烟相关的发病率和死亡率的风险特别高。农村退伍军人 获得基于诊所的强化戒烟护理的可能性显着降低。虽然我们小组和其他人的努力已将戒烟治疗方案的范围扩大到诊所之外，包括远程医疗、认知行为电话咨询和基于互联网的干预措施，但有人建议需要更具创新性和更深入的干预措施采取戒烟方法以提高戒烟率，特别是在农村地区等治疗选择有限的环境中。使用强化行为疗法，例如应急管理（CM），可能是农村退伍军人戒烟干预措施的一个有用组成部分。 CM 在其他难以治疗的人群中已显示出减少吸烟的功效。项目目标。当前研究的主要目标是在一项针对农村退伍军人吸烟者的随机对照试验中，评估将循证戒烟治疗与基于智能手机的便携式应急管理相结合的干预措施与接触控制干预措施的有效性。 。具体来说，退伍军人将被随机接受戒断强化治疗（ART），该治疗结合了基于证据的认知行为电话咨询（TC）、用于获取尼古丁替代品的远程医疗诊所（NRT）和移动应急管理（mCM）或控制条件（即单独 TC 和 NRT）将为治疗师、药物、时间和注意力效果提供控制。具体目标和假设是： 目标 1：评估 ART 对治疗后 3 个月、6 个月和 12 个月随访时戒烟率的影响。假设 1：随机接受基于 ART 的干预的退伍军人的戒断率将显着高于随机接受对照组的退伍军人。目标 2：评估 ART 干预的相对成本效益。假设 2：按照增量成本效益比衡量，与对照条件相比，基于 ART 的治疗将带来更高的成本效益。目标 3：评估潜在的治疗中介因素，包括自我效能相关机制。假设 3：与接触控制条件相比，与 ART 相关的节欲增加部分是由自我效能感的增加所介导的。项目方法。拟议的是一个为期四年的项目，其中 300 名退伍军人将被随机分配接受多成分戒断强化疗法或接触控制干预。参与的患者将在随机分组后 3 个月、6 个月和 12 个月接受调查。该试验的主要结果是在 6 个月的随访中通过可替宁测定验证了自我报告的长期戒断。
