Join a Study: Smoking-Related Research

Group Health Center for Health Studies (CHS) often seeks Group Health members and others to serve as study participants. Those who participate are helping Group Health to evaluate innovative ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent disease. It's all part of Group Health's mission to improve health care for everybody.

The COMPASS study, a clinical trial involving the drug Chantix® (varenicline), is no longer recruiting participants. For more information please see this FAQ.

Project Quit, a clinical research study funded by the National Institutes of Health is no longer recruiting participants. For more information please see this FAQ.

For other types of research studies looking for study participants, please see the Join a Study home page.

Research at Group Health is reviewed by oversight committees that include Group Health staff and consumers. These committees ensure that:

• All studies have scientific merit
• All studies are consistent with Group Health's mission
• Study participants are informed of the risks and benefits of research
• Study participants give their informed consent to be part of the research

Participants' privacy and rights are protected. Researchers follow strict standards to guard the privacy of medical records and study information.

Participation is strictly voluntary. When people decide not to participate in a study, it doesn't affect their care at Group Health in any way.

If you qualify for one of the studies that's currently recruiting participants, please consider taking part. And, if you know others who might be interested, please pass the word.
