About this study

Official title: Project CASA: Promoting Smoke-Free Indoor Air Policy in Mexican American Households

This trial studies the effect of an intervention program, Project CASA, on smoking cessation and reducing secondhand smoke exposure in Mexican American households. Project CASA, comprising pamphlets and fotonovelas (illustrated storybooks), may provide valuable information to participants on how to improve the air quality in their homes.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Reduction in secondhand smoke exposure: The study will distinguish if a tailored intervention designed to address the needs of the target group will reduce objectively and subjectively measured secondhand smoke exposure of nonsmokers in Mexican American (MA) households.

Ia. Develop tailored fotonovelas for intervention implementation. II. Smoking cessation: The study will identify if a tailored intervention designed to address the needs of the target group will help the primary smokers in the household quit smoking.

III. Stages of change: The study will identify if the proposed intervention will have a significant impact on the primary smoker(s) progression through the stages of smoking cessation.

IV. Knowledge and attitudes: The study will identify if the proposed intervention will result in better knowledge and changed attitudes towards secondhand smoke exposure among members of MA households (smokers and nonsmokers) compared to standard care.

  1. Perceived health: The study will distinguish whether reduced exposure to secondhand smoke would improve perceived health.

OUTLINE: Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 groups based on smoking status.

GROUP I (SMOKERS): Participants receive smoking cessation intervention materials based on transtheoretical model of change (TTM).

GROUP II (NON-SMOKERS): Participants receive fotonovelas and other materials on secondhand smoking and how to assist the smoker in quitting.

Participants are followed up at 6 and 12 months to assess for home air quality.

Being tested
Informational Intervention, Smoking Cessation Intervention, Survey Administration

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Level of nicotine measured at 6 month post intervention

    Method of analysis is a pre-post test analysis of covariance, ANCOVA, using a linear regression model (PROC REG in SAS). In this analysis, the prevalence of nicotine levels at the 6-month follow-up compared between conditions while controlling for baseline nicotine levels. Second hand smoke (SHS) exposure based on objective monitoring of SHS in each household (in the kitchen and TV room) over a 7-day period. A small, lightweight (16 gram) passive nicotine monitor used to measure exposure to nicotine.

    Measured: 6 months after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Informational Intervention, Smoking Cessation Intervention and Survey Administration in people with Cigarette Smoker and Current Smoker, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 4 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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.

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?

Level of nicotine measured at 6 month post intervention (time frame: 6 months after treatment). 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 Sep 2023.
