Research Group on Smoking Cessation

[ Sections and Research Projects History Psychiatric Links

The object of our research group on smoking cessation is the evaluation of behavioural smoking cessation programmes for efficacy, practicability and long-term abstinence. Abstinence predicting factors are taken into account for development of more effective intervention programmes.

Currently specific smoking cessation programmes for smokers with special risk factors for tobacco-associated diseases (vascular diseases, pregnancy, intake of contraceptives) are developed and examined.

More present research topics concentrate on the relationship of degree of nicotine dependency (indicated by the Fagerstroem Test for Nicotine Dependence) and therapy outcome, the influence of motivational factors on smoking among pregnant smokers and the relevance of smoking in patients with psychiatric disorders.
