There were two research questions used to guide the exploration of the purposive sampling of 6 African American clergy from major African American denominations across …

The theoretical foundation for this project was based on the theory of planned behavior, which identifies the predictive nature of smoking and the benefits that can be derived from implementing a systematic approach for change. The project question examined the effectiveness of smoking cessation program using educational support, pharmacological strategies, …
