Varenicline increases smoking abstinence rates compared to bupropion, nicotine patch or placebo in outpatients with psychiatric disorders. The American Psychiatric Association identifies psychiatric hospitalizations as an ideal opportunity to treat tobacco dependence. However, no previous studies have tested whether varenicline may improve smoking cessation rates compared to nicotine patch in hospitalized patients with mental illness. Additionally, varenicline has shown to be safe for mental health stable outpatients, but safety in psychiatric inpatients is unknown. Multisite open trial controlled study designed to assess varenicline's effectiveness on smoking cessation compared to nicotine patch, in patients who are discharged from a psychiatric unit. Treatment will start during hospitalization and last 12 weeks followed by a non-treatment follow-up phase for 4 weeks. Safety will be assessed by comparing the incidence of adverse events. Participants will be randomized to receive varenicline or nicotine patch during 12 weeks. All participants will receive smoking cessation counseling.
The existing tobacco cessation best practice advisory (BPA) fires for providers (physicians, residents, fellows, midwives, nurse practitioners, physician assistants) during outpatient encounters when a patient is identified as a current tobacco user in the Social History section of their chart. The BPA was designed to help facilitate tobacco cessation interventions; it is part of the The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Quality Payment Program (QPP). The purpose of the project is to optimize this BPA utilization and improve patient outcomes by comparing multiple versions of the tobacco cessation BPA.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of a combined "cocktail", cessation intervention of brief advice, nicotine replacement therapy sampling and active referral (BANSAR) for smoking expectant fathers on smoking cessation outcomes
The prevalence of smoking among US adults is highest among American Indians and Alaska Native (AI/AN) persons; however, there are a lack of tobacco cessation interventions developed specific to this disparity group. Social media holds promise as a scalable intervention strategy to promote engagement in treatment and cessation outcomes for Alaska Native (AN) people. Researchers plan to develop and pilot test a culturally relevant, Facebook delivered intervention to promote smoking treatment uptake and cessation among AN smokers. The Facebook content will include a digital storytelling approach adapted from the effective Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Tips from Former Smokers educational mass media campaign. The project builds on the researcher team's longstanding tobacco control research partnership with the AN community and was informed by their understanding of cultural factors that can both impede and encourage cessation in this population. If the pilot intervention is successful, researchers will have a blueprint to conduct a large randomized controlled trial. The researchers long-term objective is to develop interventions for AN tobacco users that will ultimately reduce their risk of tobacco-caused disease and mortality.
The PROMPT Pilot Study is a feasibility mixed methods prospective cohort study following principles of community-based participatory action research. The study recruited 80 people who use drugs and followed them for 6 months while providing access to counselling, nicotine replacement therapy and peer-support in a community setting. A notable reduction in average cigarette use per day (20.5 to 9.3) and illicit substance use (18.8%) was observed at study-end. PROMPT's patient engagement model is an effective harm-reduction strategy for the growing opioid use crisis and can improve the health outcomes of marginalised at-risk populations worldwide.
The mHealth Messaging to Motivate Quitline Use and Quitting, or "M2Q2" study, is a collaborative research project for a mobile health intervention designed to motivate smoking cessation and encourage access to counseling. The study is for men and women smokers in Vietnam's Red River Delta region who are 18 years of age or older. The primary hypothesis is that smokers in the M2Q2 intervention will have higher rates of smoking cessation, compared with the comparison group.
The 2-year research plan will test the Extended Put It Out Project (POP-6) in a pilot randomized trial (N=168) compared to TSP-6, as well as comparing POP-6 and TSP-6 to the POP-3 and TSP-3 interventions from a previously-conducted trial. Participants will be young adults who smoke, identify as sexual or gender minorities (SGM), and use Facebook. Primary outcome will be biochemically verified 7-day abstinence from smoking at 3 and 6 months. Secondary outcomes will be a quit attempt (y/n), stage of change, and thoughts about tobacco abstinence at 3 and 6 months.
This study seeks to evaluate ways to improve outcomes for low-education, uninsured or Medicaid-eligible smokers who do not successfully quit with standard telephone quit line treatment. The study will use an efficient factorial study design to evaluate four evidence-based strategies to improve follow-up care offered by the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line (WTQL) to socioeconomically disadvantaged callers who report smoking four months following initial WTQL treatment comprising a single counseling call and 2-week supply of a single nicotine replacement therapy. These strategies include: increasing the intensity of nicotine replacement medication (among those medically cleared to use such medications), increasing the intensity of WTQL counseling, helping callers enroll in an evidence-based smoking cessation texting support program (SmokefreeTXT), and offering moderate financial incentives for engagement in counseling and SmokefreeTXT.
Precision Care (PC) interventions, developed with guidance from a Community Advisory Board (CAB), will be piloted in a Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) of approximately 100 eligible, consenting daily smokers in the Southern Community Cohort Study (SCCS) who are willing to make a quit attempt with medication and who reside in TN or MS. Participants will be randomized 1:1:1 to 1 of 3 groups; (1) group one informs selection of medication with information on nicotine metabolism; (2) group two offers a genetically-informed lung cancer risk score, and (3) group 3 is Guideline-Based Care (GBC). All groups will be followed for 6 months. All RCT participants will receive FDA-approved smoking cessation medication, be referred to the shared TN/MS state quitline, and be offered the NCI "Clearing the Air" standard intervention. The primary outcome is feasibility of delivering the precision interventions in the SCCS population, as evidenced by ability to recruit, engage, and retain participants through end of study. Secondary outcomes, for which the study is not powered, will include risk perceptions, use of quit aids, lung cancer screening among those who are eligible, and smoking cessation.
