Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy, acceptability, and feasibility of an intervention that provides a behavioral weight gain prevention intervention in advance of smoking cessation treatment in individuals with overweight or obesity who smoke cigarettes. The primary aim of this study is to determine feasibility and acceptability and initial efficacy regarding whether preceding 8 weeks of smoking cessation treatment with 8 weeks of self-regulation strategies + large changes for weight gain prevention (SR), compared to 8 weeks of healthy lifestyle education (LE), will result in greater smoking cessation and reduced weight gain. Secondary aims are to study effects on self-efficacy for managing weight and for quitting smoking, negative affect, and delayed reward discounting. Methods: Individuals with overweight or obesity who smoke cigarettes will participate in a 16-week group-based multiple health behavior change intervention. Groups will be randomly assigned to receive either 8 weeks of SR followed by 8 weeks of smoking cessation treatment or 8 weeks of LE followed by 8 weeks of smoking cessation treatment. Smoking cessation treatment in both conditions will include counseling and combination nicotine replacement therapy (patch + lozenges), with a quit day at week 9 of the 16-week intervention. Assessments will occur at baseline, on quit day and 1, 2, and 3 months later. Determining the viability of this strategy in terms of effects on both smoking and weight has high significance to public health.
