The cessation counseling will be provided once per week for 8 weeks and cessation medications for 8 weeks.
Study Goals
The goal of the WISE Study is to examine whether watching videos of women living with HIV who talk about their success stories of quitting smoking will help women living with HIV quit smoking and sustain abstinence.
Study Funding
The WiSE Study began in September 2017 with a grant from the University of Massachusetts Boston and Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center U54 Partnership.
