About this study

Official title: Adolescent Smoking Cessation in Pediatric Primary Care

This is a pilot study addressing office systems and clinician behavior change surrounding smoking cessation interventions for teens. The investigators' long-term goal is to improve the quality of clinical preventive services in practice-based research network settings. Their specific aims are to:

  • a) pilot procedures for recruitment and randomization of PROS practices; and b) field trial/pilot PROS practitioner cessation counseling and practices' enrollment of adolescent patients; and
  • assess the feasibility of pediatric clinician referral of adolescent patients to internet-based adjuncts for smoking cessation.

The investigators will evaluate a pilot round of recruitment and randomization, and smoking cessation training and delivery in 10 PROS practice sites; and assess the acceptability of study procedures and on-line internet counseling adjunct referral feasibility within PROS practice sites. Up to 1000 adolescents presenting for well visits will complete a short baseline survey prior to their well-visit. A sample of them will be surveyed by phone at 4-6 weeks to provide preliminary estimates of cessation counseling effectiveness for future studies. The investigators will field test measures, describe the patterns of smoking among youth, and explore how much receiving interventions affects motivation, quitting, abstinence/relapse attitudes, attitudes towards internet-based outreach strategies, and behaviors for 100 smokers.

we have completed recruitment of providers; we are recruiting teens ONLY at this point

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing smoking cessation, practice change 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 10 inclusion and 1 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 28 Jun 2010. 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?

smoking cessation rates (time frame: 4-6 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Jun 2010.
