The Smoking Treatment for Ontario Patients (STOP) Study VII is returning to Waterloo Region! 

STOP Study workshops are being held in:

·         Waterloo on Thursday March 6th, 2014

·         Cambridge on Thursday March 13th, 2014

To qualify for the STOP Study, interested smokers can call Region of Waterloo Public Health at (519) 575-4400 ext. 13039.  Calls will be answered Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  Callers will not be able to leave a voice mail message.  Confidentiality is assured.  See attached flyer for details. 

For many smokers the cost of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products is a barrier to quitting. The STOP Study provides 5 WEEKS OF FREE NRT PATCH, an educational presentation and self-help materials to support the smoker to make a quit attempt.  STOP Study staff will follow-up with participants after the study to find out about their quit attempt. 

The STOP Study is conducted by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, in partnership with Region of Waterloo Public Health, and is funded by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care as part of the Smoke-Free Ontario Strategy.  For more information about the STOP Study go to https://www.nicotinedependenceclinic.com/English/stop/Pages/Home.aspx or call (416)-535-8501 ext. 4455.
