Filter by:Text messaging can provide smokers with quitting methods, information on available smoking cessation (SC) services and social support. This kind of intervention was proven to be effective for smoking cessation. Instant messaging (IM), by sending text and pictures, could provide users with better instantaneous and inexpensive support in their time of need. However, IM intervention is understudied in smoking cessation or other health-related areas to our knowledge, its approaches and efficacy warrant further investigation. This study aims to assess the effect of the combined intervention (nicotine replacement therapy sampling, active referral, and brief advice plus a supportive semi-personalized instant messaging advice) on smoking cessation and to assess the effect of the above interventions on secondary outcomes, including quit intention and attempts, smoking reduction, level of nicotine dependence, use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and SC services.
The present study will examine (1) the effectiveness of a combined intervention of face-to-face brief cessation advice (AWARD), active referral of SC service plus financial incentive on encouraging SC services use and (2) explore the use of CBPR model to build capacity and to engage community partners in taking on this important public health issue for sustainability in the community. In addition, a process evaluation will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of the recruitment activity and how it is linked with the overall program outcomes.
Specific Aims for this Project Are: 1. To evaluate the ability of two forms of mindfulness training, relative to a control intervention, to engage specific "triple-vulnerability" mechanistic targets that characterize low SES smokers. 1. The investigators hypothesize that both versions of the mindfulness training will show greater target engagement than the control treatment for mechanistic targets assessed under standard smoking conditions. 2. The investigators hypothesize that the enhanced mindfulness training, Mindfulness+IE, will show greater target engagement than the other two conditions for mechanistic targets assessed during the nicotine deprivation window. 2. To show that the hypothesized differential target engagement results in differential smoking self-control as evaluated by greater time to lapse, fewer cigarettes smoked, and different smoking topography in the McKee Lapse protocol. 3. To expand and refine the list of SOBC targets by showing the specific relationship between currently identified assays and empirically-validated alternative targets, with attention to showing which of the targeted mechanisms in which contexts are most linked to clinically-relevant outcomes assessed in the McKee protocol, and which offer redundant or non-significant prediction.
The trial aims to analyse changes in the microbiome of the lower airways after smoking cessation. Microbiome analyses (upper airway swabs, bronchoalveolar lavage, transbronchial brushing) are conducted in smokers before and 6 weeks after smoking cessation. Never smokers serve as a control group and undergo the same sampling procedures once.
The primary goal of the proposed research is to test whether varenicline (Chantix) is safe and effective as an over-the-counter (OTC) medication.
The 2-year research plan will test the Extended Put It Out Project (POP-6) in a pilot randomized trial (N=168) compared to TSP-6, as well as comparing POP-6 and TSP-6 to the POP-3 and TSP-3 interventions from a previously-conducted trial. Participants will be young adults who smoke, identify as sexual or gender minorities (SGM), and use Facebook. Primary outcome will be biochemically verified 7-day abstinence from smoking at 3 and 6 months. Secondary outcomes will be a quit attempt (y/n), stage of change, and thoughts about tobacco abstinence at 3 and 6 months.
Grip&Health: randomised trial which will examine the effect of theory-based multicomponent behavioural intervention for reducing stress, smoking and improving financial health and perceived health of low-SES residents in Rotterdam. Between January 2018 and July 2018, a total of 300 participants will be recruited and randomised either to a stress management program (SM), stress management with a buddy program (SM-B) or a control condition. The investigators hypothesise that compared to participants in the control condition, participants in the intervention arms will demonstrate reduced stress, reduced smoking and improved financial health and perceived health.
This is a randomized open-label parallel-group trial. 240 subjects will be recruited during 8 months and a 12 months follow-up will be carried out for each one of them. The sample will split in two groups: control group (n=120) who will receive usual psycho-pharmacological therapy and the intervention group (n=120) who will receive usual therapy plus So-Lo-Mo app.
This project aims to enhance the scalability of an office-based smoking cessation treatment protocol for veterans with PTSD, integrated care (IC), by adapting it to be delivered over the telephone and to incorporate mobile technology components. Mobile technology components include: (1) the Stay Quit Coach (SQC) mobile application (app), and (2) the iCO® mobile Smokerlyzer®, a smart phone-compatible carbon monoxide monitor.
The intervention will be use of a smartphone app to support tobacco cessation. The app's main features include sending motivational messages, displaying money saved, and allowing the user to log cravings.
