About

This trial studies the main and interactive effects of episodic future thinking and future thinking priming tasks on helping participants to quit smoking. Episodic future thinking and future thinking priming tasks may decrease delay discounting rates and reduce relapse to smoking and help participants quit smoking.

Full description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To quantify the main and interactive effects of the episodic future thinking (EFT) and future thinking priming (FTP) tasks on delay discounting rate, latency to relapse, and multiple abstinence and self-regulation measures among smokers (n=76) who call a busy Quitline to quit smoking.

OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 4 arms.

ARM I: Participants are provided with Forever Free relapse prevention booklets and receive a 2-week supply of nicotine patches, gum, or lozenges. Participants also receive 1 proactive coaching call within 24 hours of quit date. Beginning on the quit date, participants complete an active episodic future thinking or active future thinking priming task once per week for 12 weeks, alternating every week between tasks.

ARM II: Participants are provided with Forever Free relapse prevention booklets and receive a 2-week supply of nicotine patches, gum, or lozenges. Participants also receive 1 proactive coaching call within 24 hours of quit date. Beginning on the quit date, participants complete an active episodic future thinking or control future thinking priming task once per week for 12 weeks, alternating every week between tasks.

ARM III: Participants are provided with Forever Free relapse prevention booklets and receive a 2-week supply of nicotine patches, gum, or lozenges. Participants also receive 1 proactive coaching call within 24 hours of quit date. Beginning on the quit date, participants complete a control episodic future thinking or active future thinking priming task once per week for 12 weeks, alternating every week between tasks.

ARM IV: Participants are provided with Forever Free relapse prevention booklets and receive a 2-week supply of nicotine patches, gum, or lozenges. Participants also receive 1 proactive coaching call within 24 hours of quit date. Beginning on the quit date, participants complete a control episodic future thinking or control future thinking priming tasks once per week for 12 weeks, alternating every week between tasks.
