Filter by:This study evaluates the efficacy of Teens Against Tobacco Use anti-tobacco presentations on tobacco use susceptibility in 6th through 8th grade. Students will be randomly assigned to either receive 3 anti-tobacco presentations or 3 presentations on a different topic, unrelated to tobacco.
The purpose of this study is to assess initial reactions to alternative nicotine/tobacco products among smokers living with HIV.
This study evaluates the efficacy of Teens Against Tobacco Use anti-tobacco presentations on tobacco use susceptibility in 4th-8th grade. Classrooms are randomly assigned to either receive a series of two presentations or wait listed to receive them later in the school year.

The overall objectives of this clinical study are to determine in smokers the short term effects of switching to tobacco products that deliver low levels of nicotine or reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) on smoking behavior and biomarkers of tobacco smoke exposure and oxidative stress.
The aim of this project was to provide tobacco cessation services to the women at the community level at their door steps and thus establish a model community based tobacco cessation programme which could be replicated in other communities and could be taken up by National Tobacco Control Programme (NTCP), in future.
The long-term goal is to improve the quality of life of children and their parents who smoke tobacco by facilitating parental smoking cessation in a way that is easy to administer yet effective. We aim to accomplish this goal by administering an interactive computer-based program that will facilitate motivation and readiness to engage in smoking cessation by providing personalized feedback about the financial and health effects of the parent's smoking. We will compare the changes in motivation and readiness to quit smoking after the parent has taken the computer-based program and compare them to the changes in motivation and readiness to quit in parents who receive only information about the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline. We will also measure salivary cotinine levels in both parents and children, to objectively measure changes in smoking habits and secondhand smoke exposure. Our hypothesis is that our computer-based program will cause a greater increase in motivation and confidence to quit smoking in the group that receives the customized feedback than the group that receives only information about the Tobacco Helpline. We also predict that both parent and child cotinine levels will show a greater decrease in the group randomized to receive personalized feedback.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a motivational interviewing intervention with families with young children ages 0-5 where smoking is happening in the home to adopt a smoke-free home plan and reduce child's second-hand smoke exposure.
The actually most accepted method of effective smoking cessation is based on structured consultation and medical care in combination with supportive medical treatment. A group of experts developed the concept "EINFACH ERFOLGREICH RAUCHFREI" ("EASY EFFECTIVE SMOKELESS") for general practitioners providing a structured compendium for negotiation. Physicians who have implemented this concept will conduct this non-interventional study. The implementation of the scheme will be investigated under general practice conditions and the applicability of the concept has to be assessed by the physicians. In addition further knowledge of smoking cessation in would-be non-smokers which decided to quit, supported by medical treatment with NICORETTE®-products, will be documented for a large patient collective under real practice conditions. To answer all above mentioned questions for a sufficient number of patients a multicenter, prospective non-interventional study design was used for this trial as only this instrument detects characteristics of the physicians' treatment without any further input or other influences.
