Identifying Effective Treatment for Veterans Unwilling to Quit Smoking

Enhanced Chronic Care involves four chronic care calls per year. Enhanced Chronic Care is designed to help participants explore their goals and concerns with regard to smoking, engage in a nondirective, supportive, motivational interventions, and provide information about evidence-based smoking treatment available to them and ways to initiate treatment (i.e., warm hand-off from a clinical provider).

Standard Care involves one call per year. During the Standard Care call, participants will be encouraged to quit smoking, reminded of the cessation treatment available to them, and provided with a number to call should they become interested in treatment.
