Filter by:Smoking Prevention Program is a pilot exploratory study with a standardized curriculum based on the Tobacco Prevention Toolkit from Stanford University and translated into Polish by the members of Students Scientific Association of Oncology at Wroclaw Medical University. The program will assess the effectiveness of a school-based smoking prevention curricula keeping children as never smokers and test the feasibility of engaging medical students and teachers in implementing and evaluating a validated program on smoking prevention within the Polish School System. The research protocols, methods and data collection instruments of a standardized classroom based valid tobacco prevention program from Stanford University will be used for the study. The smoking prevention program is centred on drug resistance, personal self-management and increasing social skills. The program increases knowledge and uses coaching and practice to provide students with the skills to resist social pressures around cigarette use. The secondary outcome of this study is to determine the change in attitudes by Polish Medical Student regarding Cancer Prevention Research. During Smoking Prevention Program workshops, the 5-Session Curriculum for primary schools will be translated, applied and evaluated for polish students. This community-based pilot will engage medical students, the local school district and the local health authority. The Educational program meets the requirements set by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Guidelines for School Health Programs to Prevent Tobacco Use and Addiction. Following parental consent, the program will be implemented with all 7th and 8th grade students (children age 12-15 years) from the Elementary School in Tyniec Mały. This project is supported by the Head of Lower Silesian Oncology Center, the Head of Department of Oncology of Wroclaw Medical University, the Health and Social Affairs Department of City of Wroclaw and under the patronage of the Lower Silesia Governor's Office, the Polish Society of Oncology, the Polish Society of Public Health, the Lower Silesian Department of Polish Society of Cardiology and the European Association for Cancer Education (EACE). Smoking Prevention Program is funded by the READS Grant Program from the American Association for Cancer Education (AACE).
The objective of this R01 application is to conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of the Be Smoke Free, telephone-based, guided imagery (GI) intervention (IC) for smoking cessation compared to active behavioral control (CC). The study will recruit 1,200 diverse smokers from three states, Arizona, New York, and West Virginia to increase generalizability. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the IC or CC delivered by telephone by University of Arizona study coaches and will be assessed at 3- and 6-months post-enrollment by study staff. The primary outcome is biochemically verified 7-day point prevalence abstinence at 6 months. This innovative and rigorously designed project conducted by an experienced team has the potential to improve public health through the delivery of an innovative integrative GI intervention via telephone.
PREVENT is a multicentre, 2x2 factorial, randomized clinical trial that aims to determine the effect of cytisine versus placebo, as well as the effect of video messaging to support smoking cessation versus standard of care in perioperative patients. This trial aims to investigate the effects of cytisine and text messaging on 6-month continuous abstinence rates. PREVENT will also assess secondary outcomes at 30 days, 56 days and 6 months post-randomization: 7-day point prevalence abstinence, urge to smoke, time to first lapse, time to relapse, number of cigarettes smoking if still smoking, pulmonary complications, vascular complications, wound and infectious complications, stroke, time in hospital and acute hospital care.
The goal of the proposed study is to examine the abuse liability and substitutability of plausible menthol cigarette alternatives currently on the market, including menthol filtered little cigars (mFLC), menthol roll-your-own (mRYO) pipe tobacco and cigarette tubes, and non-menthol cigarettes (nmC). In addition, the study will elucidate real-time mechanisms including product characteristics and perceived effects associated with greater substitution.
This study aims to examine the effect of practicing short-bout handgrip and isometric exercises on nicotine craving, smoking urges and withdrawal symptoms in adult smokers undergoing acute tobacco abstinence. The study is a randomized controlled trial to test the effect of practicing a set of short-bout exercises (10-second exercise) on reducing nicotine craving and withdrawals. Smokers, who have been abstinent from tobacco use for 9 hours, will join a guided exercise session using 10s-E or a healthy-diet (HD, control) intervention session, and complete a craving assessment before and 2 assessments after the respective intervention session. Primary outcomes will be nicotine craving, smoking urges and withdrawal symptoms.
The objective of this study is to determine whether treatment with random nicotine delivery via a nicotine film both before and after the target quit date will facilitate smoking cessation relative to treatment with steady state delivery or placebo. The investigators hypothesize that smoking cessation will be greater in subjects assigned to a random nicotine delivery regimen (as compared to those assigned to a steady state or placebo regimen). The nicotine film product is not part of the standard of care and is not available in non-investigational settings in the United States.
This study will examine mechanisms linking Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder symptomatology to tobacco dependence.
This study aims to investigate the benefit of administering two differing doses of Bupropion (BUP) to smokers to assist with smoking cessation.
Using a 2x2 randomized factorial design, we will conduct a statewide field trial in Missouri to compare the relative and combined effects of these two strategies for augmenting an existing, evidence-based tobacco quitline program. Among 2000 low-income smokers, half will receive standard Missouri quitline services and half will receive new Specialized Quitline services targeted to this group. In each of these groups, half also will receive calls from a trained navigator to help them address unmet Basic Needs and the accompanying psychological distress that act as barriers to smoking cessation.
This study evaluates a new digitally delivered mindset based intervention in addition to a smartphone application (app) for smoking cessation. Participants will be provided an app (SmartQuit) that teaches them skills to quit, and will be randomly assigned to either receive a growth mindset intervention or to a control group.
