Study Summary

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and cigarette smoking are both associated with significant impairment in Veterans and cost to the Veterans' Affairs (VA) system. Though research suggests smoking is linked with PTSD symptoms, existing smoking cessation treatments targeting PTSD smokers do not include PTSD treatment. The purpose of this study is to examine a treatment that combines evidence based treatment for PTSD (cognitive processing therapy, or CPT) with smoking cessation treatment for PTSD and a mobile text messaging program. The study objectives are to evaluate feasibility of the treatment and to examine effectiveness of CPT and smoking cessation treatment combined compared to smoking cessation treatment without CPT. Fifty Veteran smokers with PTSD will participate in fourteen study sessions, ending with the final follow-up session six months after the scheduled quit date.

Primary Outcome

7-day point prevalence abstinence is defined as participant reporting no smoking occasions in the 7 days preceding the 6-month follow-up appointment. The 6-month follow-up occurs 6 months after the initial scheduled quit date.

Interventions

  • DRUG Bupropion
  • BEHAVIORAL Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
  • DRUG nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)
  • BEHAVIORAL Integrated Care for Smoking Cessation (ICSC)
  • BEHAVIORAL smokefreeVET
