Filter by:The aims of this study are 1) To assess the prevalence of tobacco use and cessation treatment preferences among YKHC employees, 2) To assess employee's current levels of perceived stress, engagement in physical activity, and feelings of resiliency to inform future tobacco cessation interventions, and to examine the relationship between these factors and tobacco use, and 3) To assess YKHC employees' perceptions and opinions of the hospital's current workplace tobacco policy and expansion of these regulations to all YKHC properties.
Using a single-arm trial design, this study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of evaluating QuitAdvisorDDS, a clinical decision support software application designed to facilitate implementation of evidence-based tobacco treatment interventions into the dental setting. The study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of evaluating the impact of the QuitAdvisorDDS tool on patient outcomes related to tobacco use and cessation attempts as well as provider knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding tobacco treatment. Practitioners (dentists and hygienists) will complete surveys at baseline and follow-up, while patients will complete surveys at baseline and 1-month follow-up. An embedded substudy will also evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of collecting biospecimens (saliva) to serve as biochemical verification of smoking status.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effect of a brief computer task (Approach Avoidance Task) on smoking cessation. The investigators will use a novel training protocol that works to target automatic thoughts and tendencies that occur outside of conscious control. Previous research suggests that these automatic tendencies may have a direct effect on certain health behaviors- like continuing to smoke despite having previous quit attempts. The investigators hypothesize that individuals in the AAT training condition will evidence a greater decrease in reaction times to avoid smoking-related stimuli & approach positive stimuli relative to those in the control condition. The investigators also expect that individuals in the AAT condition will exhibit superior outcomes on several quit-related variables as evidenced by an increase in motivation to quit smoking, an increase in number of days abstinent following a self-guided quit attempt, an increase in self-efficacy, and a decrease in urge to smoke compared to those in the SHAM training condition.
The purpose of this study is to adapt an existing web-based tobacco treatment program for HIV-infected smokers into a mobile intervention delivered via smartphone. After the adaptation is completed, the investigators will test the program's efficacy at promoting abstinence in a randomized controlled trial.
The goal of this research study is to compare a program called Motivation And Problem-Solving (MAPS) to the standard treatment to help participants with a history of cervical cancer or high-grade cervical dysplasia quit smoking.
Use of tobacco is very high among Alaska Native pregnant women. The investigators are conducting a three phase study. The first study is nearly completed and involved measuring biomarkers of tobacco exposure in mothers and infants. The second phase of the research is a qualitative study to translate the biomarker findings to an intervention.
Use of tobacco is very high among Alaska Native women. The investigators are conducting a three phase study. The first phase will examine biomarkers of tobacco exposure in pregnant women and their newborns. The second phase is a qualitative study to translate the biomarker findings into intervention messages. The third phase is a pilot of the biomarker feedback intervention compared with a control condition.
Prescription for Health is a national program of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) in collaboration with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). A major goal of Prescription for Health is to measure the extent to which comprehensive strategies are effective in changing patient behavior and quality of life relative to four target health risk behaviors: diet, smoking, alcohol use, and physical activity. The funded projects will use a common set of survey instruments to help measure outcomes and draw overarching conclusions across projects. This study will only be analyzing aggregated data and does not have responsibility for recruitment of patients, randomization (if applicable), or interventions. Individual project designs may differ.
This study will develop an intervention for adults who want to support a smoker. The goal of the intervention is for the support person to motivate & encourage their smoker to call the state Quitline funded by Minnesota ClearWay. The study will examine the efficacy of a telephone based intervention for support persons compared to a self-help intervention (written materials only).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a perioperative smoking cessation program, implemented at least 3 weeks prior to elective surgery, is effective in increasing rates of smoking cessation or reduction. Intraoperative and immediate postoperative complications will also be compared.
