About
This trial aims to connect tobacco using patients of Community Health Centers (CHCs) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) with evidence-based treatment to help them quit. The trial will evaluate multiple strategies, that target both clinics and for patients, to increase the number of patients who enroll in Utah Tobacco Quit Line treatment.
Full description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate clinic and patient level interventions with respect to increasing the reach of evidence-based treatment for tobacco use (delivered via the Utah Quitline).
II. To evaluate clinic and patient level interventions with respect to increasing the impact of Quitline treatment. Impact is defined as Reach X Efficacy. In calculating impact, efficacy is defined as the proportion of smokers who enroll in Quitline delivered treatment that successfully quit.
III. To evaluate characteristics of both clinics and patients that may influence tobacco use outcomes.
OUTLINE:
CLINIC-LEVEL INTERVENTION
All clinics will receive a clinic-level intervention of Ask Advise Connect (AAC). AAC consists of an electronic health record (EHR) intervention that utilizes the EHR to facilitate clinic staff to Ask patients about tobacco use, Advise patients to quit using tobacco, and directly and electronically Connect patients to the Utah Tobacco Quit Line.
PHASE I (PATIENT-LEVEL): Patients who do not enroll in the Quit Line following the clinic visit will be eligible for Phase 1 randomization to receive either TM or continue with the EHR Condition Only (CO).
GROUP I: Patients receive a Text Message (TM) weekly for one month followed by a monthly text message with a one-touch response to connect to the Quit Line over the next 5 months (i.e., 6 months of text messages following the clinic visit).
GROUP II: Patients receive continued clinic level EHR intervention only (CO).
PHASE II (Patient-level): Nonresponders (i.e., did not enroll in Quit Line treatment at 6 months) in Group 1 of Phase I (TM/CO) will be randomized to 1 of 2 groups:
GROUP I: Patients will continue to receive text messages (motivational messaging with simple touch response to connect directly to the Quit Line) plus 2 brief telephone calls from health coaches for 6-12 months following the clinic visit. Brief telephone coaching calls will be conducted using Motivation and Problem Solving (MAPS) for a TM+MAPS condition.
GROUP II: Patients continue to receive a monthly text message with a one-touch response to directly connect to the Quit Line during months 6-12 following the clinic visit, i.e., text message continued (TM-Cont).
Roughly twelve months after the clinic visit, eligible patients will be invited to complete a 12-month survey on quality of life and abstinence assessments.
A saliva kit will be sent to 300 randomly selected patients who indicate abstinence at the 12-month follow-up and agree to the saliva sample.
