If you are one of the 31 million people who would like to quit smoking, you can do something good for yourself and participate in one of Clinical Research Atlanta's (CRA) medication trials. CRA is currently enrolling adults, ages 18 or older, to be part of a clinical study testing the role of a prescription medicine. Although the use of prescription medication will help some people stop smoking, others still relapse and begin smoking again. The study at CRA wants to determine if the using a prescription medicine a second time will help adults be more successful with their efforts to quit smoking. Once a person is enrolled in the trial, the study will last 12 weeks. Participants come to CRA once a week for the twelve weeks they are taking the drug in order to meet with a smoking cessation counselor and have their progress monitored. Counselors follow up with participants for one year following the initial twelve week period- once a month with phone calls and twice during the year with face to face visits in the CRA office. If you are interested, call Clinical Research Atlanta at 770-507-6867.
