Summary

This clinical trial evaluates the impact of Quitting Using Executive Function Strategy Training (QUEST) on quitting smoking (cessation) in homeless young adult smokers with an acquired brain injury (ABI). Over 70% of youth and young adults experiencing homelessness (YYEH) smoke tobacco. More than half of YYEH who smoke have made at least one attempt to quit smoking but few use evidence-based methods to increase success. In addition, 9 out of 10 of these have an acquired brain injury which may have a negative impact on successful smoking cessation. QUEST may help homeless young adult smokers with an ABI quit smoking.
