recurrent depression.
counseling may facilitate the process of quitting smoking for individuals with a history of
recurrent depression.
Adult smokers with a history of recurrent major depression (MDD) report higher levels of
depressive symptoms when presenting for smoking cessation treatment and have poor smoking
outcomes relative to other smokers. Carefully conducted clinical trials have supported the
efficacy of cognitive-behavioral mood management treatment for depression in improving
smoking cessation outcomes in this high-risk group. Although efficacious, these intensive
group treatments require significant resources and thus may have limited impact outside of
specialized smoking cessation programs. In the present study we will develop and obtain
preliminary data on the efficacy of proactive telephone counseling for smoking cessation
that integrates cognitive-behavioral mood management skills training for depression (MM).
Smokers with a history of recurrent MDD will be randomly assigned to the proactive telephone
counseling for smoking cessation with mood management (MM) or a standard proactive telephone
counseling (ST) comparison condition. We expect that this program of research will result in
the development of a specialized, efficacious treatment with broad reach into a significant
subpopulation of smokers at greatest risk for difficulties quitting, and will therefore have
important clinical and public health significance in decreasing the overall prevalence of
cigarette smoking.
