Smoking Cessation Research Studies
What is a research study?
A research study tests or evaluates treatments, such as new or current medications; behavior treatments; medical equipment; clinical therapies; or procedures or programs, to determine if they are safe and effective.
Why should I participate?
If you are looking for a way to stop smoking, participating in a research study may be right for you. People in research studies can receive new treatments before they are widely available and can play a more active role in their health care and treatment. Study participants may also help others by contributing to research that could lead to new treatment options in the future.
Who conducts research studies?
There are currently more than 600 smoking cessation research studies going on around the world to help determine the best, most effective ways to help people stop smoking and stay quit. Although the studies on this page have been funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the studies are conducted by researchers outside of NIH, usually at universities or medical schools.
