Detailed Description

This is a longitudinal study of adults on probation who have a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and smoke cigarettes. One-half of probation officers will be trained in the Intensive Referral Intervention (IRI) while one-half will deliver Standard Practice which is to encourage support group attendance.
