This program provides funding for research designed to optimize smoking cessation treatment among people living with HIV (PLWH). Research may address the behavioral and sociocultural factors and conditions that are associated with cigarette smoking among PLWH and may also address smoking-related health disparities.
Primary research questions that fall within the scope of this program include, but are not limited to:
- What evidence-based smoking cessation interventions are most effective in helping PLWH to achieve long-term tobacco abstinence?
- How can evidence-based smoking cessation interventions be adapted to improve smoking cessation outcomes among PLWH?
- Considering the diverse and unique needs of PLWH, including culture, country of origin, English language proficiency, socioeconomic status, and race/ethnicity, how can existing evidence-based smoking cessation interventions be adapted to best reach and be effective in specific groups?
- What smoking cessation interventions are most
effective among subgroups of PLWH with disproportionately
high smoking rates?
These groups include:- African American men
- American Indian/Alaska Natives
- Rural residents
- Sexual and gender minorities
- Individuals with mental illness
