Clinical Trial Summary

The tobacco use burden in Lebanon is exceptionally high: 35% of adults are current cigarette smokers and 39% are current waterpipe smokers. Although the World Health Organization endorses evidence-based interventions for population-level tobacco dependence treatment, recommended treatments are not integrated as a routine part of primary care in Lebanon, as is the case in other low-resource settings. The objective of this proposal is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of promising multi-component interventions for implementing evidence-based cessation treatment in Lebanon's national system of primary health care centers.


Clinical Trial Description

The research team will conduct a group-randomized trial comparing three arms: 1) Ask about tobacco use, advise to quit, assist with brief counseling (AAA) as standard care; 2) Ask, advise, connect to phone-based counseling (AAC); and 3) AAC+ Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). Our central hypothesis is that connecting patients to phone-based counseling with cessation medication is the most effective alternative. The hybrid design is informed by the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework which emphasizes key steps and multilevel factors to optimize implementation success. The following specific aims will be pursued: 1) adapt and tailor an existing smoking cessation program to deliver phone-based counseling to smokers in Lebanon; 2) test the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a referral-based program that delivers smoking cessation services to primary care patients; and 3) identify the multilevel determinants of implementation and sustainability using mixed methods. ;
