Study Background
Atrium Health and Wake Forest University School of Medicine are conducting several research studies that examine how smoking use affects the brain and decision making.
Our researchers are looking to partner with cigarette users, ages 18-75. Some of our studies may help participants quit smoking.
These studies involve computer tasks and questionnaires, and some may involve brain scans using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Researchers at Atrium Health and Wake Forest University School of Medicine are studying how smoking affects decision-making and brain function. Some studies ask participants to make a quit attempt, other studies ask participants to stop smoking for 24 hours. Researchers hope the results of these studies will help inform new treatments that improve smokers' mood, brain function, and/or ability to quit tobacco use.
