Free online master course on quitting cigarette smoking using ACT
Dear ACBS members. I am excited to announce that a free online master course using ACT for quitting cigarette smoking is now available. The course is based on over 15 years of grant-funded research from my HABIT lab at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seattle, Washington. Every time our lab does a study, we learn from our prior work, look closely at how to improve our ACT intervention, and so it keeps getting better and better.
