Varenicline-Aided Cigarette Reduction in Smokers Not Ready to Quit

Tobacco Use Disorder

The investigators will randomize smokers to receive 1) Varenicline + smoking cessation/reduction counseling or 2) Placebo pill + smoking cessation/reduction counseling. Neither the participants nor the research therapists/evaluators will know to which condition (active or placebo pill) the participants have been assigned i.e., a double-blind study). The medication and weekly counseling will occur for 28 days. Participants will complete assessment measures just before the start of treatment (baseline), at the end-of-treatment, at 1-month, 3-month, and at 6-months to determine if there are differences in tobacco use between treatment groups.

Gender Differences in Response to Nicotine Replacement Therapy and De-Nicotinized Cigarettes

Nicotine Dependence

This study will investigate the underlying neurobiology of differences between male and female smokers. Research suggests that women are less responsive to nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) than men and more responsive to the sensory and behavioral aspects of smoking. This study proposed that male smokers will have a greater response to NRT demonstrated by reduced withdrawal symptoms, craving, and less blood-oxygen-level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD FMRI) regional brain activation in response to nicotine-cues as compared to female smokers treated with NRT. Additionally, female smokers will have a greater response to denicotinized cigarettes with decreased withdrawal symptoms, craving, and less BOLD fMRI activation in response to nicotine-cues as compared to male smokers.

The Effects of Craving and Abstinence From Cigarettes on Brain Metabolism in Smokers

Nicotine Dependence

Craving and withdrawal from smoking cigarettes are major factors for relapse. We investigated craving for cigarettes in smokers undergoing pharmacological treatment with Bupropion (Zyban). We compare cue-induced reactivity to smoking videos in smokers who were successfully treated with Bupropion to smokers who are still smoking. We measured the brain's metabolic activity in response to smoking and neutral cues in Positron Emission Tomography using FDG.

Behavioral/Drug Therapy for Alcohol-Nicotine Dependence (Naltrexone/Nicotine Patch)

AlcoholismSmoking

This study will develop a behavioral and drug relapse prevention program for individuals who are dependent on both alcohol and tobacco. The study's goal is to show that individuals receiving nicotine replacement therapy and naltrexone (Revia) with behavior therapy will have higher rates of abstinence from both smoking and drinking than individuals who do not receive the drug therapies. Individuals will be placed in a 12-week outpatient treatment program with followup assessments 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment.

Families With Substance Use and Psychosis: A Pilot Study

PsychosisSubstance Use13 more

The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate an intervention that adapts Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) for families experiencing first episode psychosis and substance use delivered via telemedicine (video conferencing). The intervention aims to improve treatment engagement and reduce distress, and it will be delivered via telemedicine (CRAFT-FT). To assess feasibility of the intervention, family members will complete the sessions and provide feedback to refine the treatment manual. Data on client relatives with psychosis will be collected for preliminary assessment purposes. Client relatives will not complete the research study intervention.

Nicotine TMS EFT Smoking Pilot Study

SmokingNicotine Dependence3 more

Prior and recent evidence suggests a role of medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) in cigarette smoking. Episodic Future Thinking (EFT) has also been shown to be associated with increased delayed discounting and reduced cigarette self administration. In the present study, we will examine whether a single administration of theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (tbTMS) can increase Episodic Future Thinking and delayed discounting while reducing craving for nicotine.

Study Two on the Effectiveness of Mindfulness Training for Smokers

Nicotine Dependence

The MTS2 study enrollment goal is N=240 adult smokers randomized to study treatments. The study design includes two randomized arms to compare matched intensive interventions and a third non-randomized option for participants who prefer not to enter an intensive intervention. It is expected that roughly 50% (120) will choose to be in the randomized intensive interventions and 50% (120) will choose to be in the non-intensive intervention. Participants who choose to be in an intensive intervention will be randomized to either Mindfulness Training for Smokers(MTS) (n = 60) or Integrated Training for Smokers (ITS)(n=60). Both MTS and ITS are smoking cessation interventions that provide 8 classes over a 6-week period and 2 weeks of nicotine patches. MTS provides and training in mindfulness whereas ITS provides training in quit smoking strategies and access to the Freedom From Smoking Online Premium Program. Participants who choose to be in a non-intensive intervention (estimated from prior recruitment data at n=120) will receive a phone-based intervention through the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line and 2 weeks of nicotine patches.

Comparison of Internet Stop Smoking Intervention to Usual Care on Smoking Cessation at 6 Months...

Cigarette SmokingNicotine Dependence

The primary goal of this project is to carry out a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing quit rates of a Spanish/English stop smoking Web site to those of a no-intervention or "quit on your own" control. The investigators have not included a no-intervention condition in previous Web studies and although 20% of participants quit smoking at one year are 20%, obtaining evidence that the investigators interventions yield higher abstinence rates than a no-intervention control is the next logical step. Furthermore, although the investigators Web site was designed in English and Spanish, the investigators success in attracting the U.S. Hispanic/Latino (HL) population in either language has been limited, so this project only will only conduct intensive telephone follow-up of HL smokers and add new recruitment methods to do so.

New Approaches to Smoking Cessation in Heavy Drinkers

Nicotine DependenceCigarette Smoking2 more

The purpose of this study is to develop and test an integrated cognitive-behavioral intervention for smoking and alcohol among heavy drinking smokers. The current pre-pilot phase will be used to refine this protocol for the subsequent randomized, controlled pilot phase. The current study phase has two parts: 1) an intake session and brief physical; 2) a 12-week treatment phase in which participants receive varenicline (Chantix) and weekly, personalized counseling.
