Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) who currently smoke daily and have moderate to severe chronic pain, and can complete study activities in English.
✕Probably not a fit
People not experiencing chronic pain, those not currently smoking, or those planning or trying to quit may not benefit from these interventions.

What this trial studies
This study develops and tests two telehealth interventions aimed at helping adults who smoke and experience chronic pain. The first phase gathers feedback from three focus groups to refine the materials, then the second phase compares the feasibility and acceptability of the two approaches. Participants will complete a single online telehealth session and finish surveys before, right after, and at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after the session. The trial is conducted at Binghamton University with collaboration from NIDA.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the interventions could provide telehealth options that support smoking-related health improvements for people with chronic pain.
How similar studies have gone: Telehealth approaches for smoking support have shown feasibility in other populations, but this study focuses on the intersection with chronic pain.
