Filter by:The purpose of this study is to validate the novel hypothesis that regular use of Acetium Lozenge is promising novel method to assist in smoking cessation. The aim of this confirmatory study is to affirm the promising results obtained in a previous smoking intervention trial with Acetium lozenge. If successful, the trial gives adequate power to confirm, that the Acetium lozenge represents a breakthrough in the development of smoking intervention methods.
The aims of the present study are: 1. To raise the awareness of smoking cessation service among youth smokers in Hong Kong; 2. To provide smoking cessation quitline service to youth smokers; and 3. To provide training to teenagers as peer smoking cessation counsellors. 4. To examine the effectiveness of adventure-based training and WhatsApp messages in helping youth smokers to quit
This project aims to promote quitting, and reduction for those who do not want to quit, among female smokers through training female youth as smoking cessation and reduction ambassadors (SCRA). The objectives are to: 1. Promote age and gender-specific smoking cessation and reduction to the female population 2. Deliver a smoking cessation and reduction ambassador training workshop to equip and empower female youth with the knowledge on the adverse effects of smoking on female smokers and the skills in smoking cessation and reduction and in raising public awareness of the harmful effects of smoking on female smokers. 3. Have the trained female youth to deliver a brief advice (AWARD) to female smokers to help them to quit or reduce smoking and refer them to the female-specific smoking cessation hotline or the Department of Health Quitline for further assistance if needed.
This study aims to develop a Mindfulness Smartphone Intervention with Contingency Management (MSI-CM) for smoking cessation that can be readily available to depressed smokers receiving outpatient psychiatric treatment. This project is expected to result in the development of an effective intervention that will produce preliminary data showing increased short-term cessation success in depressed smokers receiving outpatient psychiatric treatment. It is anticipated that this smoking cessation intervention will have potential for broad reach to outpatient psychiatric treatment programs and have a significant overall impact in reducing smoking-related morbidity and mortality by enhancing smoking cessation rates in at-risk populations.
The primary objectives of this study are 1) to evaluate the longer-term impact of an adjunctive, low-cost financial incentives intervention (relative to standard care) on smoking abstinence rates among socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals participating in a clinic-based smoking cessation program and 2) to identify treatment mechanisms and contextual factors associated with cessation outcomes among intervention participants using both traditional and ecological momentary assessment approaches. Those randomized to the financial incentives intervention will have the opportunity to earn small gift cards for biochemically-verified abstinence through 12 weeks post-quit. We hypothesize that individuals who are randomly assigned to the adjunctive CM intervention will have significantly higher rates of biochemically-verified abstinence at the 26-week post-quit follow-up than those assigned to Usual Care. In addition, we hypothesize that several factors related to socioeconomic disadvantage will be directly associated with non-abstinence, especially greater stress/adversity, limited psychosocial resources, greater negative affect, greater nicotine dependence, and poorer treatment adherence. The primary study endpoints will include self-reported tobacco use/abstinence, expired carbon monoxide (CO) levels (i.e., the amount of carbon monoxide present in an individual's breath when they breathe out), and saliva cotinine levels at 26 weeks post-quit attempt, though smoking status will be assessed at all visits. Traditional questionnaire measurement and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) will be utilized to measure potential treatment mechanisms including motivation, self-efficacy, and treatment adherence. Other variables including stress/adversity, psychosocial resources, negative affect, nicotine dependence, and treatment adherence will also be assessed.
This study is to verify the efficacy of tobacco cessation in patients with oral diseases; periodontitis, dental implant and oral mucosal diseases by a multicenter prospective trial. Tobacco cessation intervention is implemented for 12 weeks. During the tobacco cessation intervention for the subjects, attending doctors implement standard treatments for their oral diseases. Improvement of each disease is evaluated between smoking cessation intervention group and non-cessation intervention group.
Social support is poorly understood but likely to influence outcomes of behavior change efforts. Social support may take a directive or nondirective approach. In directive support, the person attempting a behavior change is told what to do and even what to think. In nondirective support, the person attempting the behavior change decides what to discuss. In some contexts, interactions of race or income with social support have been reported. This is a randomized controlled trial of directive and nondirective coaching in the context of a smoking quitline offered to employees of two large corporations.
This project is responsive to the identified gap of lack of tobacco cessation training programs in Latin American & Caribbean countries. Currently, smoking rates in the Latin American and Caribbean region are high, and previous surveys show that health professionals do not have enough skills to help smokers to quit. In consequence, in absence of trained health professionals, many smokers who visit health care services are under-treated. The Fruitful Project aims to adapt an original on-line course developed in Spain to the reality of the three Latin American countries (Bolivia, Guatemala and Paraguay) and disseminate evidence-based tobacco cessation interventions among health care professionals.
The study is designed to test the hypotheses that financial incentives can increase both participation in smoking cessation treatment and resulting cessation rates, when they are offered to BadgerCare Plus (Medicaid) smokers as part of their health care.
The aim of this trial is to develop a new tailored smoking cessation program for smokers with low education. Smokers are involved in design of the intervention. The effect of the intervention is then tested in a randomised controlled trial. Half of workplaces will be offered the intervention and the other half will be control group, not receiving any offer.
