Filter by: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 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.
There was no significant difference in the effectiveness of smoking cessation in COPD patients under a single session of SDM compared with a single session of smoking cessation education but significant improvement in the psychological dependence of smoking cessation shows that both groups. More intensive and more frequent interventions should be provided in the future.
Sexual and/or gender minority (SGM) people have disproportionately high rates of tobacco use - the number one cause of preventable death. Reasons for this include using tobacco to cope with social minority stressors, pro-tobacco use norms in SGM social spaces and networks, and targeted tobacco industry marketing. Empowerment Theory explains how positive behavior change, like quitting smoking, can be promoted through skills development with greater participation in the public affairs of one's community. An empowerment approach may enhance tobacco cessation treatment for SGM people and other stigmatized groups because it links individual well-being with the larger social and political context. This pilot study will assess the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary impact of empowerment-enhanced tobacco smoking cessation assistance for SGM adults. We will enroll N=20 SGM adults in Oklahoma who smoke and are willing to quit. Participants will receive standard tobacco cessation assistance through the Stephenson Cancer Center Tobacco Treatment Research Program (TTRP). Concurrently, they will also engage in 'empowerment activities', meaning SGM organizing and community-building activities, like conducting follow-up phone calls to gender marker and name correction clinic participants. This will be guided by an Oklahoman SGM-serving community partner. Participants will complete 8 surveys during the intervention period and 12 weeks post-quit-date, a 60-minute, in-depth exit interview, and biochemically-verified smoking status before the intervention and 12 weeks post-quit-date. This pilot study will establish collaborative relationships between the PI's team and local SGM-serving organizations, and will produce preliminary findings to support future R01-level funding to conduct a fully-powered randomized control trial of a multi-level empowerment-enhanced SGM tobacco cessation intervention.
This pilot study will assess the acceptability and feasibility a novel mHealth app designed for smokers who are ambivalent about quitting and have been diagnosed with HIV.
The development of mobile applications ("mobile apps") is steadily increasing and appears to be a promising treatment method to help people change unwanted behaviors or maintain a regular relationship with the medical system. Mobile apps aimed at smoking cessation have been shown to be effective. However, if a treatment is not used regularly, it will not have the desired effect. The main objective of this study is to identify what makes a person decide to use a smoking cessation app and to do so regularly. The second objective is to determine what is necessary to achieve long-term change with a mobile app.
The causes of death due to smoking are responsible for 11.5% of the total deaths in the world. Smoking causes lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular diseases. In some studies on nursing students in the world, the prevalence of smoking is between 13.9% and 32%; It is known that it varies between 12.9% and 28% in Turkey. At the end of this study, nursing students are supported in smoking cessation by providing smoking cessation training, they become a role model for the society by gaining the right behavior, creating a society that smokes less, reducing the financial burden on the state as a result of protecting individuals from possible chronic diseases, and guiding health trainings on this subject. It is foreseen that it will be a guide in its implementation in the whole country. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the I Stop Smoking, Protecting My Future and Health program based on the Preced-Proceed Model on the smoking behavior of nursing students.
Latino Kick Buts (LKB) is a smoking cessation treatment program available to patients identified as smokers at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Latino Kick Buts smoking cessation mobile program encompasses two integrated components: (1) a 12-week text messaging counseling program with interactive capabilities; and (2) pharmacotherapy support (provision of nicotine replacement therapy at no cost). LKB utilization among Latino smokers remains minimal. The aim of this pilot study is to identify types of text message that are more effective to enrolling Latino smokers in the LKB.
