The purpose of this research study is to evaluate an electronic visit (e-visit) for smoking cessation across rural primary care settings. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the smoking cessation e-visit or not. The e-visit will look similar to an online questionnaire asking about smoking history, motivation to quit, and preferences for medications for quitting smoking. Participants may receive a prescription for a smoking cessation medication as an outcome of the e-visit, if randomized to the e-visit group, but there is no requirement to take any medication. This study consists of questionnaires and breath samples provided at 4 separate time points throughout the study. Participation in this study will take about 24 weeks. Read Less

The goal of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to test whether a smoking cessation induction intervention delivered during a dental cleaning appointment increases the utilization of evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for smoking cessation within 7 months post-dental cleaning appointment. Approximately 400 cigarette smokers who are scheduled for a dental cleaning appointment at the Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine (BUGSDM) patient treatment center will be recruited and enrolled. Participants will be randomized to either the intervention or control group Read Less

The goal of this research study is to test an intervention to help quit tobacco use in participants with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The study interventions used in this research study are: Positively Smoke Free - Mobile (PSF-M) (mobile behavioral program) Varenicline (or Chantix, apovarenicline, Champix or Nocrav) Read Less

Smoking cessation has been shown to improve the effectiveness and reduce the morbidity of tobacco-related cancer treatments. We will identify effective smoking cessation strategies for patients who are receiving treatment for tobacco-related cancer. In this trial, patients' preferences in smoking cessation therapy will be the principal determinant by providers in developing a three component regimen of pharmaceutical therapy, counseling, and nicotine replacement therapy. This study will identify this cohort's preferences for smoking cessation strategies. We will then examine the impact of utilizing patient preferences upon cessation efficacy by directly comparing cessation success in this study with our recently completed study of the same population using the same tobacco treatments which were randomly assigned.

This project seeks to determine the effectiveness of two types of interventions to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke in residential buildings. One intervention is geared toward all building residents (resident endorsement) and the other targets smokers (smoking reduction via relocation and reduction in personal smoking/cessation) with the goal of reducing personal smoking and secondhand smoke exposure.

The investigators propose to conduct a combined intervention that pairs SMS smoking cessation messages for patients with individualized training for OB clinicians to improve quit rates among pregnant smoking. The aim is to determine the effect of the intervention versus control on smoking cessation outcomes on patient smoking cessation. The investigators will recruit patients at their first OB visit who report smoking at Duke and Pitt. Patients in both the control and intervention arm will receive smoking cessation support messages throughout their pregnancy. OB clinicians in the intervention arm will receive tailored smoking cessation counseling training. Clinicians in both arms will receive a one-time 5 A lecture. The investigators will analyze smoking cessation outcomes and audio recordings. This is a minimal risk study. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability and effect of a combined smoking cessation intervention integrating contingency management (reward-based) strategies with Mindfulness training to identify the optimal dynamic strategy to promote smoking cessation among HIV patients.

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of injectable naltrexone (NTX;380 mg) in conjunction with oral bupropion (BUP; 450 mg daily)NTX-BUP administration among individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders that smoke cigarettes and to evaluate change on smoking-related measures and symptoms of schizophrenia.

Tobacco use disorder is a chronic, relapsing health condition that necessitates a chronic care approach. However, traditional smoking cessation treatment programs allocate nearly all their resources only to those smokers who are willing to set a quit date. This is problematic because few smokers are ready to set a quit date at any given time, and a smoker's stated intention to quit can change rapidly. One novel potential treatment strategy is to foster practice quitting (PQ), defined as attempting to not smoke for a few hours or days, without pressure or expectation to permanently quit. Although a growing body of evidence supports the role of practice quitting in fostering permanent quit attempts and cessation, there is a significant knowledge gap regarding which treatment strategies should be used to engage smokers in practice quitting. The proposed study will test the role of PQ counseling vs. Motivational Interviewing (MI) counseling, and NRT sampling (four-week supply of nicotine lozenges and patches) vs. none. Read Less

This study will evaluate the efficacy and economic impact of a theoretically-based, fully automated, interactive smartphone-based smoking cessation intervention. Read Less

Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of death and disability in the United States. People with psychiatric disorders consume almost half (44.3%) of all cigarettes smoked in the U.S. and have life spans more than 20 years shorter than the general population. Effective quit smoking treatments for people with psychiatric disorders are sorely needed. When patients are hospitalized for a psychiatric disorder, they are not allowed to smoke. This enforced period of no smoking creates what professionals call "a teachable moment". It provides an excellent opportunity to discuss the prospect of staying quit once the individual leaves the hospital. In ongoing research, the investigators have developed and tested a Sustained Care quit smoking intervention for smokers engaged in a psychiatric hospitalization. The intervention includes: 1) a professionally-led, motivational counseling session to encourage quitting smoking and increase awareness about available quit smoking resources, 2) a referral to the Texas Tobacco Quitline for phone-based, quit smoking counseling, and 3) an offer of 8 weeks of nicotine patches after leaving the hospital. Findings from a recently completed clinical trial provide strong support for this Sustained Care intervention. Aims in the current project are to develop and test a tablet computer-based, motivational counseling intervention that does not require a trained professional counselor. The goal is to conduct a clinical trial to demonstrate the effectiveness of this tablet-based, Sustained Care intervention for smokers engaged in psychiatric hospitalization. As before, the same quit smoking resources (Quitline and nicotine patches) will be provided upon hospital discharge. If successful, next steps will involve plans to implement this quit smoking intervention in psychiatric hospitals throughout Texas, in order to reduce the burden caused by tobacco-related cancers among the citizens of Texas.
