DBT for Smoking Cessation in High Risk Veterans

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Individuals prone to suicidality are typically excluded from tobacco cessation interventions even though they are disproportionately likely to smoke, and even though smoking cessation has been linked to improved mood and reduced risk of suicide. This trial enrolls Veteran smokers at high risk for suicide, and assigns them to receive either cessation treatment as usual, or a novel treatment that incorporates standard behavioral cessation treatment with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based treatment for suicide risk.
