About this study

The investigators' long-term goal is to improve the quality of services targeting the prevention of secondhand smoke (SHS). Their specific aims are to:

  • refine components of office systems and counseling interventions for parental tobacco control in pediatric outpatient settings; and
  • pilot test the feasibility and efficacy of a parental tobacco control randomized controlled trial in pediatric office settings using 5 intervention and 5 comparison pediatric practice sites.
Read more

The investigators hypothesize that:

  • clinicians in intervention practices (compared to those in control practices) will more often implement successful office systems, screen for parental smoking, advise parents to quit and to prohibit smoking and SHS exposure at home, recommend pharmacotherapy, provide adjuncts, and refer parents to cessation programs; and
  • parents who smoke in intervention practices (measured by 3-month follow-up telephone surveys) will be more likely than those in control practices to have received cessation services, use pharmacotherapy, make lasting quit attempts, and institute rules to prohibit smoking and limit SHS exposure at home.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing training in smoking cessation in people with Health Care Quality, Access, and Evaluation and Smoking Cessation, run by University of Rochester at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jan 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

rates of reduced exposure to secondhand smoke. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Jan 2008.
