Web-based Smoking Cessation Program for Tribal College Students

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a culturally-tailored Internet-based program that helps American Indian (AI) tribal college students quit smoking.

Clinical Trial Description

Many of the approximately 25,000 American Indian (AI) students enrolled in tribal colleges/universities in the US arrive there as smokers. A 2011 study of high school seniors reported that the smoking prevalence among AI students is approximately 40%, the highest rate among all racial and ethnic groups studied. Although prevalence data on smoking among AI college students are limited, studies have shown that the majority of smokers in high school continue to smoke once they reach college. Prohibited from marketing to adolescents and children, the tobacco industry in recent years has shifted its most intense marketing to college students, resulting in increases in smoking rates among them. The transition to college provides amble opportunities for young adults to acquire new and harmful habits. Many of these habits do not seem so alien to young AIs: Cigarette smoking is the number one cause of preventable death among AIs. Cancer is the second leading cause of death among AIs, and lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths for both AI men and women. Cultural factors, socioeconomic circumstances, and lack of culturally-tailored cessation programs for American Indian tribal college students have prevented access to effective interventions that promote smoking cessation. To date, few studies have focused on methods to encourage smoking cessation among tribal college students and no randomized clinical trials have yet been conducted. To address this public health deficit, we propose an innovative, effective, culturally and individually-tailored smoking cessation programs to promote cessation. Primary aim is to: To test the effectiveness of a culturally-tailored internet-based smoking cessation intervention (I-ANBL) compared to an internet-based heart healthy diet (I-FV:fruit/vegetable) control condition in a randomized controlled trial with Tribal College students. Our hypothesis is that American Indian tribal college students randomized to the culturally-tailored smoking cessation arm will have significantly higher 7-day point prevalence abstinence (defined as no cigarettes in the past 7 days, biochemically verified) rates at 6 months than those receiving the heart healthy diet intervention. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
