Smoking Cessation Clinical Trials

The study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) as a tool to decreasing distress and cigarette smoking. 46 participants currently smoking cigarettes, and seeking to decrease cigarette use will be recruited.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of two different informatics-enabled implementation strategies on increasing tobacco treatment and improving smoking cessation rates for cancer control and prevention. This will be done via a two-arm pragmatic cluster randomized trial (CRT) to test the effectiveness of nudges to change (ELEVATE-S) vs. quit-focused usual care (ELEVATE) in increasing tobacco treatment (use of medication, brief advice, or referral to external counseling) and smoking cessation.

Many hospitals and outpatient clinics often refer people who smoke to quitlines and provide prescriptions for smoking cessation medications, but patients rarely fully engage in counseling or use their cessation medications. This is a single-arm, open-label pilot study to provide feasibility metrics for a text-based contingency management (CM) intervention to increase engagement in smoking cessation treatment. All participants (N=20) will be referred to a state quitline and will receive a prescription for medication plus 12 weeks of a text-based CM intervention to increase engagement in quitline calls and varenicline utilization. The engagement of participants in quitline counseling will be tracked for 6 weeks and medication utilization for 12 weeks post-enrollment. The investigators will use mixed-methods to collect implementation and acceptability data to inform changes to the text-based contingency management (CM) intervention. Read Less

This project will evaluate a proactive outreach intervention for tobacco cessation among primary care BIPOC populations who smoke in two health systems across the region. Compared with Whites, BIPOC populations in the US experience disproportionate health consequences from commercial cigarette use. Few evidence-based cessation treatments (EBCTs) have been specifically developed, evaluated, or implemented for BIPOC populations. Moreover, uptake of EBCT (e.g. medication, counseling) is lower among BIPOC populations. Reasons for the failure to engage BIPOC patients in EBCTs are complex and multi-level (e.g., patient, provider, healthcare system). To address these gaps, the investigators will assess the added effectiveness of an approach to augment the standard of care with longitudinal proactive outreach to connect BIPOC adults with EBCT. The proposed multi-level intervention leverages the electronic health record to identify patients who smoke, who can then be proactively engaged via culturally tailored outreach to connect them to EBCT. The proactive approach may circumvent experiences of bias within the healthcare system and thus enhance engagement. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate how well nicotine pouches and nicotine mini lozenges serve as substitutes for cigarettes when people try to switch from smoking to using these alternate nicotine products. Participants will: * Use nicotine pouches, nicotine mini lozenges, or no study product for a week and then try not to smoke for 3 weeks. * Have 6 in-person research visits and 1 follow-up call * Complete questionnaires at each study contact and use a smartphone app to record smoking and study product use Read Less

The aim of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of a culturally aligned digital smoking cessation resource for American Indian persons who smoke, via a remotely conducted randomized controlled trial. Read Less

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.

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the efficacy of Actívatexto (Aim 1) and the mediators of the presumed treatment effect (Aim 2) among Latino adults who smoke. Actívatexto is a mobile intervention that integrates four components: 1) a text messaging program that promotes both smoking cessation and physical activity, 2) wearable devices to monitor physical activity, 3) smoking cessation pharmacotherapy \[i.e., nicotine replacement therapies (NRT)\], and 4) an online dashboard where the research team manages participants' incoming and outgoing data from both the text messaging program and wearable devices.

The overarching goal of this research is to determine the most effective approach for helping dual users of cigarettes and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) quit smoking. 500 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for 12 months. Read Less

This study evaluates whether the Smokefree Family Living (SFL) intervention improves quit rates (smoking cessation) and exposure to tobacco contamination that stays in items such as, carpets, walls, and furniture, even after the smoke has cleared (third-hand smoke (THS)) among Chinese American smokers and their non-smoking household members. Smoking remains high among Chinese American males with limited ability to speak English. This causes the non-smoking household members to be exposed to THS, which contains many of the same harmful components as smoking and becomes more toxic as it ages. SFL is tailored for Chinese Americans and combines the contents of the Quit Smoking for a Healthy Family (QS) intervention with additional THS education and cleaning strategies. QS focuses on smoking cessation through educational sessions and support. THS education and cleaning strategies provide information on THS and how to clean the home for THS. SFL may help Chinese American smokers and their non-smoking household members learn about the importance of quitting and the dangers of THS, this may improve smoking cessation and reduce THS exposure Read Less
