BackgroundPrior studies have shown that Group Motivational Interviewing (GMI) for dually diagnosed patients holds promise for increasing treatment engagement. ObjectivesThe current study evaluated the impact of a novel GMI protocol that included tobacco-specific components (referred to as Tobacco GMI or T-GMI) targeting enhanced engagement in smoking cessation treatment. MethodsThirty-seven primary alcohol and nicotine-dependent cigarette smoking homeless Veterans with co-morbid psychiatric conditions were recruited to receive four GMI sessions over 4 consecutive days. The first 16 participants received standard GMI, aimed at enhancing engagement in substance abuse treatment and for reducing substance use, while the remaining 21 participants received a modified tobacco-specific GMI protocol (T-GMI) that included additional content specific to cessation of tobacco use and enhancing smoking cessation treatment, in addition to the standard substance abuse content of GMI. ResultsParticipants in T-GMI were more likely to attend tobacco cessation programming (p=.05), as well as to attend combined tobacco cessation programming with prescribed nicotine replacement therapy (p=.03), compared to those in standard GMI. Differences between treatment conditions with respect to alcohol and illicit drug use outcomes were not significant, although overall substance use declined over time in both groups. Conclusions and Scientific SignificanceResults suggest that inclusion of tobacco-specific components in the context of GMI for substance abuse may enhance treatment engagement for tobacco cessation behaviors among dually diagnosed nicotine dependent homeless patients, a highly vulnerable population for which interventional resources targeting engagement in smoking cessation treatment has historically been lacking.
