Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Cessation in Non-Daily Smokers: A RCT of NRT with Ecological Momentary Assessment
US smoking patterns are changing as more and more adult smokers report that they don't smoke every day. Contrary to popular belief, these 'non-daily' smokers actually show signs of addiction to cigarettes, and have trouble quitting. In this study we will test whether nicotine gum is helpful for non-daily smokers who are trying to quit. The research subjects will carry smartphones that ask them about things like mood, stress, craving, withdrawal symptoms (irritability), etc., so that we can learn more about their 'real world' experience before and after quitting smoking. .

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.
