Clinical Trial Summary

The overall objective of the study is to optimize a smoking cessation treatment package for people with HIV (PWH) that can be integrated into existing HIV care in South Africa.


Clinical Trial Description

This project will evaluate the main and interaction effects of four evidence-based smoking cessation components integrated within HIV care in South Africa: (1) intensive behavioural counselling, (2) peer support, (3) combination nicotine replacement therapy (c-NRT), and (4) varenicline. The investigators will also evaluate the implementation and cost-effectiveness of these interventions. This study is a balanced full factorial randomised trial of 660 adults with HIV and will be implemented in two diverse sites in Gauteng, South Africa representing both peri-urban and urban settings. Participants will be recruited via health care worker-referral or self-referral. Interested patients will be further screened for eligibility. Eligible participants will be administered written informed consent (see "Informed Consent and Assent" section below), and participants will be randomized into one of 16 study conditions for a 12-week intervention period. This will be an open-label trial; neither the participants nor study personnel will be blinded to treatment assignment post randomization, but randomization block assignment will be concealed from the study personnel who will be enrolling participants. ;
