Brief Computerized Feedback for Smokers in Recovery

November 13, 2012 updated by: Virginia Commonwealth University
The purpose of this research study is to find out more about smokers in recovery from addiction to alcohol/other drugs, and to evaluate a brief computerized smoking behavior feedback session. The hypothesis is that a brief computerized smoking behavior feedback session will motivate more smokers to quit smoking than a control condition.
