Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: MT plus NRT with additional CM GroupExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants who received the MT intervention for 4 weeks with 6 weeks of NRT and are non-responders (those who have not quit smoking at the 1 month follow up) and randomized to receive an additional CM intervention for another 4 weeks.
Group II: MT plus NRT GroupExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants who receive the Mindfulness Training (MT) intervention for 4 weeks in addition to 6 weeks of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).These participants are responders (have quit smoking at the 1 month follow up) or non-responders (those who have not quit smoking at the 1 month follow up) and randomized to receive no additional intervention.
Group III: CM plus NRT with additional MT GroupExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants who received the CM intervention for 4 weeks with 6 weeks of NRT and are non-responders (those who have not quit smoking at the 1 month follow up) and randomized to receive an additional MT intervention for another 4 weeks.
Group IV: CM plus NRT GroupExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants who receive the Contingency Management (CM) intervention for 4 weeks in addition to 6 weeks of NRT. These participants are responders (have quit smoking at the 1 month follow up) or non-responders (those who have not quit smoking at the 1 month follow up) and randomized to receive no additional intervention.
