Smoking Cessation for Adults With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate whether Osmotic-Release Methylphenidate (OROS MPH), relative to placebo, increases the effectiveness of standard smoking treatment (i.e., nicotine patch and individual smoking cessation counseling) in obtaining prolonged abstinence for smokers with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
