A better understanding of how to incorporate effective smoking cessation measures into clinical practice is requested. In this is prospective, multi-center, randomized, open, blinded end-point (PROBE) trial, we assigned daily smokers hospitalized with an acute cardiac event 1:1 to an in-hospital nurse-led smoking cessation intervention with direct referral to further follow-up in the municipal healthy life-centres (intensive intervention) or to written information about smoking cessation and the municipal program (low-threshold intervention) . The primary outcome will be the smoking cessation rates between the groups at 6 months follow-up. Key secondary outcomes include a cost-effectiveness analysis of the intensive intervention and cessation rates at 3- and 12-months follow-up, the proportion who used nicotine replacement therapy and the proportion who attended the healthy-life center program between the two groups. We also assess effects of recurrent cardiovascular events and mortality after 12 months, two and five years follow-up. Exploratory analyses include new knowledge about the patient and system factors of importance for participation to healthy life-centers and for changes in smoking behaviour.
This project seeks to determine the effectiveness of two types of interventions to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke in residential buildings. One intervention is geared toward all building residents (resident endorsement) and the other targets smokers (smoking reduction via relocation and reduction in personal smoking/cessation) with the goal of reducing personal smoking and secondhand smoke exposure.
Smoke Free SafeCare (SFSC) is a proposed braided intervention consisting of two evidence-based interventions: Some Things are Better Outside (STBO), aimed at promoting smoke free home rules, and SafeCare, aimed at reducing child maltreatment and improving mother and child outcomes. STBO is effective in creating smoke free homes and reducing second-hand smoke in low-SES (socioeconomic status) households. SafeCare is an effective parent training program that is broadly disseminated in child protective services in the United States. SafeCare is a promising mechanism to effectively increase the reach of STBO to reduce SHS (secondhand smoke) exposure in families with documented high rates of tobacco use and children with cumulative risk for negative health outcomes.
The main purpose of this experimental study is to compare the existing health education program for School Health and Education Program (SHEP) in the Junior High Schools with a new health education model (Smart-Kids') for the prevention of smoking initiation and to improve the quit rate among students in Upper East Region of Ghana. The intervention will be based on the Theory of Triadic Influences (TTI) which involves the cultural environment in which adolescents mature, their immediate social situation, and intrapersonal differences. These three factors impact through different mediating variables, such as attitudes, normative beliefs, and self-efficacy, which eventually affect smoking intentions and smoking behavior as the outcome measures. The study design is a cluster randomized control trial. After baseline assessment, the investigators will randomize schools to receive the new health education for three months whiles the comparator (control group) will continue with the usual health education. The investigators will conduct a post-intervention assessment using the same questionnaire with unique identity codes linking each participant to their baseline assessments immediately at the end of the intervention. Final assessment will be done approximately three months after the intervention. The investigators will assess and compare the effectiveness of the new health model to the normal health promotion programs (SHEP). The investigators hypothesized that there will be no significant differences observed between the new teacher-led health education program (the Smart-Kids Program) and the existing SHEP coordinator-led in preventing smoking uptake among the youth. Alternatively, the new teacher-led health education program would facilitate the effects of the program on outcomes. on four key primary endpoints as follows: - H1: The intervention study will result in a 30% reduction in smoking uptake - H2: The intervention study will result in a 10% reduction in smokers - H3. The intervention will increase knowledge of the harmful effects of tobacco use by 50% - H4. The intervention will increase the willingness to quit smoking by 10% among smokers
A novel heat-not-burn tobacco product (IQOS) will be provided to smokers, compared against a (cigarette) smoking as usual period in counter-balanced order in a cross-over design. This study will examine the short-term effects of IQOS, switching from combustible to noncombustible nicotine and withdrawal-related symptoms over a two week-long "practice" period, relative to smoking as usual.
The purpose of this study are to obtain learnings regarding the Digital Therapeutic (DTx) experience of Clickotine, including acceptability and preference of the overall program and specific DTx components, as well as to obtain learnings related to adult participants' use of the DTx for smoking cessation.
The overall goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of the Lumme smartphone app for smoking cessation in people living with HIV (PLWH) and evaluate its effect on smoking cessation. Mobile health (mHealth) technology can be used for achieving health equity in vulnerable groups because it is a widely available and relatively inexpensive tool for health behavior change and can be adapted to meet the needs of its end-users. Therefore, a mHealth intervention such as the Lumme App proposed through this study is timely, relevant, scalable and likely to improve health outcomes in PLWH who smoke.
The purpose of this randomized controlled pilot study is to test whether an in-hospital nurse-led smoking cessation intervention increases the refferal rate to healty life-centers in the municipalities. We will also describe the proportion who succeed in quitting smoking between the intervention group and the control group and obtain new knowledge about the patient and system factors of importance for participation to healty life-centers and for successful and unsuccessful smoking cessation.
This is an open-label, randomized, 5-way crossover study designed to evaluate plasma nicotine pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters following an ad libitum use of Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) investigational products (IPs) in a confinement setting by generally healthy combustible cigarette (CC) smokers.
