Researchers in Dr. Heather Gainforth’s lab in partnership with SCI BC want to conduct a study aimed at understanding barriers and facilitators experienced by people with SCI while trying to stop cigarette smoking.
Eligible participants will take part in an audio-recorded phone interview that would last 30-60 minutes. Prior to the interview, you would complete a short 10-15 online survey.
