Filter by:RATIONALE: Calcitriol may prevent lung cancer in patients with metaplasia or dysplasia of the lungs. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of calcitriol in preventing lung cancer in current smokers and former smokers at high risk of lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled school-based trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a four-session school nurse-delivered smoking cessation intervention in increasing abstinence rates among high school students who smoke.
There have been a number of tobacco prevention programs developed and tested in the past few years, and some of the comprehensive programs have been promoted by the Office on Smoking and Health at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). However, the use of these programs and integration into school-based curriculum has been lacking due to a number of factors. We are proposing to develop an interactive computer-based program for tobacco prevention aimed at middle school students. The CD-ROM is designed to be an adjunct to the existing health education curriculum provided for 6th through 8th grade students.
This randomized trial compared the effectiveness of a three session pharmacist-delivered group program for smoking versus one 5 to 10 minute standard care session delivered over the telephone on 7-day point prevalence quit rates. Participants in both groups were offered their choice of bupropion IR or nicotine patch at no cost. At 6 months after the established quit date, self-reported cessation was biochemically verified using tests for urinary cotinine.
RATIONALE: A stop-smoking plan that includes health education counseling and bupropion may help African-American smokers stop smoking. It is not yet known whether health education counseling is more effective with or without bupropion in helping African Americans stop smoking. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying health education counseling and bupropion to see how well they work compared with a placebo and health education counseling in helping African Americans smokers stop smoking.
This is a brief smoking cessation trial in women, comparing transdermal nicotine patch (TNP) versus varenicline.
RATIONALE: The Clinical Effort Against Secondhand Smoke (CEASE) program may be more effective than standard care in increasing the number of parents who stop smoking. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well the CEASE program works compared with standard care in helping parents stop smoking.
The goal of this study is to examine the effects of a GABA (gamma amino butyric acid)-enhancing medication, pregabalin (300 mg/day), on smoking behavior, tobacco withdrawal and cigarette craving in smokers. We hypothesize that in smokers, pregabalin at 300 mg/day, will be more effective than placebo in decreasing smoking behavior and attenuating tobacco withdrawal and cigarette craving.
This is a randomized, controlled trial (RCT) to test the efficacy of an internet continuing dental education intervention designed to increase tobacco cessation counseling in dental practices. The intervention involves surveying practices regarding preventive care, surveying adult patients about their tobacco habits and preventive care provided by dental practice and training/educating the dentist and office staff on tobacco cessation. With patients who smoke and indicate that they have quit, we followed up with testing their saliva for the presence of cotinine. We have enrolled general dentists and periodontists who practice in the Southeastern United States.
This study seeks to evaluate the relationship between PTSD, abstinence, and factors associated with relapse in the context of a randomized, clinical smoking cessation trial.
