The primary objective of this study was to evaluate whether OROS-MPH (Concerta), 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 ADHD. The study involved 255 participants, recruited from six sites.
Primary Findings
Prolonged abstinence rates for the OROS-MPH and placebo groups did not differ significantly. OROS-MPH, relative to placebo, effectively treated ADHD and was safe and generally well tolerated.
