Filter by: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.
It is a randomized, multicenter, prospective, double-blind, placebo controlled, interventional clinical trial that will be conducted in Poland, in about 12 Hospital Pulmonary Departments to evaluate the effectiveness of atorvastatin on the reduction of inflammation process in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and possible biomarkers for personalized treatment of COPD.
The investigators aim to address the following specific aims: - Determine the efficacy of Prog in preventing postpartum smoking relapse and reducing smoking relapse risk factors. - Examine the effects of this maternal smoking intervention on infant health. - Examine racial and ethnic differences in intervention outcomes.
This randomized controlled clinical trial examines the effectiveness of a face-to-face* cognitive-behavioral behavioral treatment to quit smoking enriched with an App. This project aims to innovate in the psychological smoking cessation treatment and increase abstinence rates in the short and long term. * Due to the COVID-19 the face-to-face treatment will be conducted in an online format.
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.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effects of low nicotine content cigarette (LNC) educational messaging on perceptions of low nicotine cigarettes, tobacco/nicotine product choice preferences (hypothetical), LNC cigarette subjective ratings, and LNC cigarette abuse liability among adult smokers.
The research objective is to identify a simple, pragmatic, innovative way of enhancing Tobacco Use Treatment (TUT) rates within oncology. To investigate this possibility, the investigators propose methods that will allow them to: 1) evaluate the impact of standing orders to initiate a varenicline management protocol within outpatient cancer treatment workflow, 2) assess the potential for an EHR-based intervention to affect patient TUT behaviors, and 3) identify important facilitators and barriers that impact effectiveness of the intervention. The investigators will assess whether including a standing order for prescription and management of varenicline (TUT Service+VM) within the workflow for cancer patients identified as current smokers will significantly increase TUT engagement rates compared to current standard of care (TUT Service alone). The investigators hypothesize that observed treatment engagement rates will be higher among clinicians exposed to TUT Service+VM than observed in clinicians exposed to TUT Service alone.
The main purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of "nudges" to clinicians, to patients, or to both in increasing Tobacco Use Treatment Service (TUTS) referral and engagement; and to explore clinician, patient, inner setting (e.g., clinic), and outer setting (e.g., payment structures) mechanisms related to TUTS referral and engagement. The investigators will employ rapid-cycle approaches to optimize the framing of nudges to clinicians and patients prior to initiating the trial and mixed methods to explore contextual factors and mechanisms. The investigators will conduct a four-arm pragmatic cluster randomize clinical trial to test the effectiveness of nudges to clinicians, nudges to patients, or nudges to both in increasing TUTS referral and engagement in cancer patients who smoke, vs. usual care (UC). The investigators hypothesize that each of the implementation strategy arms will significantly increase TUTS referral and engagement compared to UC and that the combination of nudges to clinicians and to patients will be the most effective.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease that affects only a fraction of those who smoke tobacco. The origin of this variability in susceptibility to develop COPD is unclear, but understanding its underlying biology has important implications for our ability to design suitable preventative and therapeutic strategies for its management. This Department of Defense (DOD) discovery research proposes to develop methodologies and generate preliminary data needed to lay the foundation for a large study that would investigate the underlying biological susceptibility of those who smoke tobacco to develop COPD.
Smoking is the most important factor in the etiology of COPD. Some of the patients with COPD continue to smoke despite knowing this situation or they cannot quit even if they want. The aim of this study is; To examine patients with COPD who continue to smoke in terms of perception of dyspnea, exercise capacity, psychological symptoms and quality of life.
