Filter by:This pilot clinical trial studies how well provider training works in increasing patient tobacco cessation counseling and referrals for patients with cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Health care provider training in motivational interviewing techniques and utilizing tobacco cessation resources may help doctors understand how health care providers can effectively increase their confidence in talking to patients about tobacco cessation counseling.
This one-year pilot study of 30 non-treatment seeking young adult e-cigarette/combustible tobacco product dual users (15 males/15 females) will use smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to gather real-time data of e-cigarette and combustible tobacco product behaviors during a 1-week cigarette/e-cigarette dual use period .(1) Participants will respond to daily random prompts assessing in-the-moment use of e-cigarettes/cigarettes and the subjective factors (ratings of satisfaction and withdrawal) and contextual factors (location, activity, social cues) associated with each episode of use. Participants will also complete daily electronic diaries to document e-cigarette use episodes/day, and satisfaction with the e-cigarette experience during the study.
This pilot study will investigate within-person changes in smoking behavior when current adult smokers are systematically switched from smoking menthol cigarettes to non-menthol cigarettes.
This pilot project examined the feasibility of an multilingual interactive video education intervention "an interactive Mobile Doctor intervention (iMD)" to promote patient-provider discussion on tobacco use for Korean- and Vietnamese-speaking male patients at primary care settings.
Despite the availability of a variety of effective treatments for smoking cessation, uptake of treatments is low. The increasing use of smartphone technology presents an exceptional opportunity to expand access to low-cost smoking cessation services. In this pilot study, the investigators will use a text-messaging platform to test peer mentoring for smoking cessation, delivered by former smokers. While peer mentoring is a common approach to health behavior change, it has rarely been used to maximum effect by smoking cessation programs. The text-messaging platform serves as the basis for a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of peer mentoring for smoking cessation. This pilot will include approximately 200 U.S. adult smokers who will be randomly assigned to a peer mentor or not. Participants in the control group will receive automated text messages used in SmokefreeTXT, a nationwide text-messaging service sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in which users receive one to five automated messages per day for up to eight weeks. Smokers in the intervention group will receive a modified version of the same automated messages from SmokefreeTXT, but with additional personalized messages from an assigned peer mentor. Mentors will provide responses to specific questions or comments a smoker may have after receiving the automated messages. The intervention will last 8 weeks. The study includes primary outcomes to measure the acceptability, engagement, user experience, and early efficacy of the intervention.
This cross-sectional survey study is intended to describe the characteristics of adults in 4 US states with regards to respiratory symptoms and tobacco exposure, utilizing an existing state-administered, CDC overseen Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System telephone health survey. The primary goal of study is to describe the sociodemographics, health behaviors, and presence of chronic diseases in persons with or at risk of having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Craving for cigarettes is an important aspect that leads to challenges with smoking cessation. Persons with schizophrenia are more likely to smoke and to be heavier smokers than persons without schizophrenia, and may experience craving differently as well. Minocycline is an antibiotic medication that may impact craving. We will conduct a two-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group pilot study to investigate the effects of minocycline vs. placebo on craving and smoking behaviors in smokers with schizophrenia. Participants will take minocycline or matching placebo for two weeks. Participants will be assessed on aspects of craving and smoking behavior at baseline and after 1 and 2 weeks of minocycline or placebo treatment.
Tobacco use is still the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States. Tobacco quit lines are effective at helping smokers to quit, but quit lines are underutilized, especially by men and racial/ethnic minorities. Guided imagery is effective at helping people quit smoking, and is appealing to males and diverse racial groups, but has limited reach. The proposed study will develop and test the feasibility and acceptability of a guided imagery tobacco cessation intervention that is delivered by a combination of quit line coaches and an interactive website. The investigators hypothesize that guided mental imagery delivered using the quit line "coaching model" combined with an interactive website could be an effective intervention strategy.
The objective of the proposed research is to investigate how smoking increasing potency of THC (i.e., the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana) changes tobacco cigarette smoking behavior, urges, subjective effects, and abuse liability. This study will be a within-subjects, placebo-controlled study in our clinical laboratory of the effect of active vs. placebo marijuana on cigarette puff topography, exhaled carbon monoxide, urge, subjective effects, and abuse liability among 7 adults who smoke both marijuana and tobacco cigarettes.
The objectives of this policy-related survey are as follows: i. to study updated trend and prevalence on secondhand smoke, smoking-attributed health effects, cessation services; ii. to investigate the level of public support on current and future tobacco control measures and taxation policies; iii. to address the timely impacts of smoke-free policies, substantiate public support on further tobacco control measures and assist Hong Kong Council On Smoking and Health (COSH) in shaping policy direction for government. Purpose of the study is to provide evidence and support for smoke-free policy development in Hong Kong.
