Abstract:
This report describes a computer-directed cigarette smoking cessation program that individualizes nicotine fading schedules for smokers based upon their daily smoking behavior. Previous outcome data from minimal intervention and intensive stop-smoking treatment studies are presented. Preliminary urinary cotinine data also are presented to validate the program's underlying assumption that computer-directed nicotine fading results in across-treatment reductions in biological levels of nicotine.
