Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Smoking Cessation
Registration Number
NCT03295409
Lead Sponsor
University of Manchester
Brief Summary

Evidence suggests that affirming the self can help people to make changes in their health behavior. Typically, people affirm a personally-important value, but evidence suggests that affirming the values of family ("familial self-affirmation") might exert stronger effects. The aim of the present study is to examine the effects of familial self-affirmation versus standard self-affirmation versus a control group on smoking cessation.
