Veteran Support for Smoking Cessation Pilot Project (VAntage Pilot)

The intervention condition will include, for the SPs, a manualized, 1-session coaching intervention delivered by a research coach. The call will be delivered by phone using VA-permitted remote audio or video communication technology (e.g., doximity dialer, Zoom, or VA Video Connect if a Veteran). Coaches will use behavior change strategies delivered with a MI style.

Support persons will receive existing written materials on effective social support strategies for smoking cessation. Materials will be sent via postal mail.
