About this study

The purpose of the study is to evaluate a sustainable and broadly accessible treatment delivery model (Motiv8) for smoking cessation based on abstinence-reinforcement.

Read the detailed description

Smokers are randomly assigned to one of two groups: an Abstinence Contingent (AC) group and a Submission Contingent (SC) group. The AC group receives vouchers for abstaining from smoking (measured by a carbon monoxide monitor and confirmed through video-submission), and the SC group receives vouchers for submitting videos of their carbon monoxide breath tests. Both groups take videos of their CO-monitoring on a secure website designed for the study, as well as receive standard care counseling and education related to smoking cessation. The main intervention lasts four weeks, and a three-week maintenance phase will follow. Assessments will be conducted at intake, week four (end of the main treatment phase), and at three and six months after the intervention period is completed

  • Reinforcement for the abstinence of smokingBehavioural

    Participants in this intervention group will receive vouchers contingent upon a CO sample of 4ppm or less.

  • Reinforcement for submission of videos with CO sampleBehavioural

    This intervention group will receive vouchers contingent on their submission of videos of their CO breath tests.

Study groups in NCT00926939
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Abstinence Contingent (AC)ExperimentalThis group will receive vouchers contingent on smoking reduction and smoking abstinence (confirmed through video submissions). Abstinence is defined as a CO sample of 4ppm or less.
Receives: Behavioral: Reinforcement for the abstinence of smoking
Submission Contingent (SC)ExperimentalThis group receives vouchers for submitting videos of their CO breath test.
Receives: Behavioral: Reinforcement for submission of videos with CO sample

What is being measured

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

  1. CO sample of ≤ 4ppm

    Measured: 4 weeks, 7 weeks during intervention; 3 months and 6 months after intervention

  2. Participant reporting not smoking, not even a puff in the last 7 days.

    Measured: 4 weeks, 7 weeks during intervention; 3 months and 6 months after intervention

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Twice-daily breath CO samples obtained during treatment period.

    Measured: First 4 weeks of treatment

  2. The longest duration of sustained abstinence based on the twice-daily breath samples during the treatment period.

    Measured: First 4 weeks of treatment

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?

CO sample of ≤ 4ppm (time frame: 4 weeks, 7 weeks during intervention; 3 months and 6 months after intervention). The study lists 2 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?
