Completed Projects

Tailored Interventions for Smoking Cessation (TISC)

Specific Aims/Objectives:
To establish a reliable means of identifying and quantifying the diverse impediments to smoking cessation in an individual subject.

To demonstrate that smoking cessation interventions tailored to individual subjects’ impediment profiles increase one-year quit rates (40% projected) compared to the best historical results (approximately 25%).

Current Status:
This study has been approved by the Human Investigation Committee at Yale University and by the Institutional Review Board at Griffin Hospital. We are currently recruiting participants, and plan to begin the study in August, 2000.
