Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A randomized control trial evaluating a novel smoking cessation intervention in individuals at a an inpatient clinic for clients with addiction and concurrent disorders. The intervention is based on cognitive bias modification, where participants are explicitly or implicitly trained to make avoidance movements by pushing a joystick in response to pictures of smoking, and as a result altering their cognitive biases towards smoking and tobacco dependence.

Hypothesis: Participation in the experimental (tobacco-avoidance) condition will induce reduction of smoking, assessed as lower levels of carbon monoxide measured at baseline and 12 week follow-up.

Study Groups

TRAA

participants will be given the active TRAA intervention where landscape images are linked with a push motion, and portrait images linked with a pull motion. Pictures will exclusively be related to smoking.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

TRAA intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The Tobacco Retraining of Automatic Approach The tobacco-RAA will be the intervention in changing approach tendencies towards tobacco. The task uses pictures of tobacco related objects (e.g, a cigarette) and pictures of non-tobacco related objects (e.g, a spoon). Patients will be presented with a joystick while pictures are presented on a computer screen. Patients will be presented with pictures, pulling pictures in a portrait format, while they push pictures in a landscape format. In the experimental condition pictures pushed will almost exclusively be smoking related pictures. In the control condition smoking pictures will be equally divided into push and pull conditions.

Control

participants will be given a mix of landscape and portrait pictures, equally divided into push or pull. the images will be a mix of smoking related pictures and non smoking pictures.
