Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to examine whether microaggressions relate to multimodal facets of smoking behavior, subjective withdrawal, and urge/craving. Additionally, the second aim is to examine whether smoking deprivation moderates the relation between microaggressions and multiple facets of smoking behavior, subjective withdrawal, and urge/craving.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This proposal will employ a novel multi-modal approach to evaluate the role of microaggressions in relation to smoking lapse and topography among a sample of Latinx smokers. Adult Latinx daily smokers will attend two counterbalanced experimental sessions - (1) smoking deprivation (16 hours of smoking abstinence) and (2) smoking as usual - during which microaggressions during the relapse analog task will be assessed.
