Filter by:The study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) as a tool to decreasing distress and cigarette smoking. 46 participants currently smoking cigarettes, and seeking to decrease cigarette use will be recruited.
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the US and a major driver of health disparities. Among our tools for reducing the harms of tobacco is lung cancer screening (LCS). This study will combine a review of existing qualitative and quantitative data on barriers to lung cancer screening and smoking cessation in underserved populations, a quantitative analysis of predictors of lung cancer screening and smoking cessation treatment use among Massachusetts Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC)s, and a stakeholder advisory group to synthesize these data and select implementation strategies that reflects the critical determinants and the strengths and resource constraints of the Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) context.
Participants will complete this study remotely, either at home or at their preferred location using an online platform. The investigators propose to test the effects of a mindfulness training [MT: Headspace] intervention compared to a time and attention psycho-education control [control: TedTalks] among N=200 adult smokers of a nicotine product. Previous studies suggest that mindfulness training may be beneficial in reducing craving during tobacco abstinence. During the study, participants will complete baseline questionnaires, followed by two weeks of daily MT or control training and self-report on questionnaires assessing affect, cognition, and smoking behavior using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) for remote data capture. Following this two weeks of training, participants will complete a smoking quit attempt and complete daily EMA questionnaires for two weeks. The first day of the smoking quit attempt will include a remote Zoom video session following overnight smoking abstinence. During this session the participants will complete a remote stressor task (Trier Social Stress Test, TSST), and the investigators will collect EMA data on affect and smoking behavior before and after the TSST. One month after the start of the quit attempt, participants will complete a phone call as a follow-up to assess smoking behavior over the previous 30 days, and to complete a debriefing. Study objectives are to test the effect of MT on: (1) smoking lapses during the follow-up periods; and (2) stress (affect, smoking urge, withdrawal symptoms) during the TSST.
This teaching development aims to enhance the clinical reasoning and empathy of nursing students in nursing students in smoking cessation training. The evaluation aims to assess the feasibility and efficacy of virtual reality (VR) video-based learning for enhancing self-efficacy in delivering smoking cessation intervention. The proposed study is 2-arm, waitlist-control, pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) (allocation ratio 1:1), by comparing the self-efficacy and performance of clinical reasoning between nursing students who are provided VR videos of a smoker's real-life scenario and reading materials (intervention group) and those who are only provided the same reading materials (control). Individual randomization will be used. All participants will be given a group assignment and expected to complete the assignment by the end of the tutorial. The group assignment and self-administered pre- and post-learning survey will be used for the teaching outcome evaluation.
This study aims to enhance the general 5As brief advice model with interactive mobile phone-based intervention and active referral to community smoking cessation services for smoking patients discharged from hospitals.
This study aims to develop a theory-driven, brief alcohol intervention protocol for HCPs to deliver the intervention for co-users of tobacco and alcohol during smoking cessation treatment. The primary hypothesis is that smoking cessation treatment including the alcohol intervention will increase tobacco abstinence and reduce alcohol drinking. Our second hypothesis is that the brief intervention to deal with alcohol use will be feasible during smoking cessation treatment and be widely accepted by smokers.
This project aims to test the effectiveness of an integrated intervention of brief cessation advice (AWARD) and simple physical exercise with Instant Messaging (IM) support compared with control participants among current smokers who joined the contest.
The objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of a culturally adapted, Alaska Native family-based incentives intervention for smoking cessation.
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.
This study will evaluate Comprehensive Chronic Care (CCC), a healthcare treatment approach designed to increase smoking treatment engagement and abstinence among primary care patients who smoke. This research will compare CCC with Standard of Care (SC) on the following outcomes: abstinence at 18 months (primary outcome), treatment reach, and cost-effectiveness. Participation in the study will last 18 months.
