Summary

This study tested a new smoking cessation program for veterans who are at high risk for suicide. The program combines standard tobacco treatment with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a therapy proven to reduce suicide risk. 67 veterans participated, and researchers measured how many quit or reduced smoking, and whether sleep quality improved.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combined with standard tobacco cessation treatment
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help high-risk smokers quit tobacco while also managing suicide risk, potentially improving both physical and mental health.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 67 participants, so results may not apply to all veterans. The intervention is behavioral and may not work for everyone.
