Participate in a Research Study

The ABLE Project

We need your opinions about a new video program!

If you are a smoker or recent quitter and you use a cane, wheelchair, scooter, brace, walker, etc. to help you get around, you may be eligible for a discussion group.

The ABLE Project is a research study seeking smokers or recent quitters with mobility impairments to help us design a new video program.

• You do not have to quit or want to quit in order to participate, and you will not receive smoking cessation treatment as part of this study.

• If you qualify and agree to participate, you will attend a discussion group that will help us design a new video program.

• Discussion groups will be held at several handicap accessible locations in Providence and surrounding areas.

• You will be financially compensated for your time.

For more information or to find out whether you are eligible, please call The ABLE Project at 1-866-401-7277 (toll free), 401-793-8168, or email us at ABLE@lifespan.org.
