Brief Summary

A brief smoking cessation intervention was developed to address smoking in the context of chronic pain to increase the intention to engage in smoking cessation treatment.

Detailed Description

The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the effects of a brief pain and smoking (BPS) cessation intervention on the willingness to consider quitting smoking in adults with chronic pain seeking treatment in a pain specialty outpatient clinic. The investigators hypothesized that participants randomized to the BPS intervention, relative to a brief non-tailored control smoking (BCS) intervention, would be more likely to self-report willingness to consider quitting smoking. Secondary aims included examining the effects of group allocation on the (1) interest in learning about smoking cessation programs; (2) willingness to consider scheduling a smoking cessation program; (3) scheduling a smoking cessation program; and (4) change scores of the Thoughts About Abstinence Scale (TAAS).
