About this study

Official title: Predictors of Smoking Outcomes During Treatment Programs

The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of this type of smoking cessation program by comparing a treatment group with a control group.

A secondary objective of this research is to explore relations between impulsive behavior and smoking-cessation success among treatment-seeking teens participating in a quit-smoking program.

Hypothesis 1. A greater proportion of the participants in the treatment condition will be verified as abstinent from smoking during the course of treatment than participants of the control condition.

Hypothesis 2. It is hypothesized that teens who do not successfully stop smoking (or who drop out of the treatment program) will be more impulsive (from measures taken just prior to treatment) than those who do successfully stop or significantly reduce rate of smoking.

Read the detailed description

In response to the need for treatments appropriate for adolescent smokers, this research (utilizing a two-group randomized-control design, n = 63 per group) will evaluate the effectiveness and efficacy of a new and innovative Internet-based contingency-management (CM) program for smoking abstinence with adolescent smokers. This program lasts for 42 days and involves a 21 day abstinence phase. For the treatment condition, participants are reinforced for breath samples that verify abstinence from smoking three times per day; however, for the control condition, participants are reinforced for timely breath samples regardless of abstinence status.

Because this CM program is Internet based it can be completed from home, which stands to be more viable as a treatment option for adolescent smokers than other treatments requiring frequent trips to a clinical facility. From preliminary work with adult and adolescent smokers, it is expected this treatment program will be highly effective in creating favorable changes in adolescent smoking behavior. This research will also involve eight monthly post-treatment follow-up sessions to determine long-term consistencies or changes in smoking behavior.

A secondary goal of this research is to explore pre-treatment assessments of different dimensions of impulsive behavior as predictors of treatment outcome. These behavioral assessments will provide highly detailed information about the specific behavioral styles of adolescent smokers who are unable to effectively change their smoking behavior during treatment. This information should provide new points of emphasis for treatment-program modifications to improve these programs to be more effective for adolescents most challenged in their efforts to quit or reduce smoking.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CO-ContingentBehavioural

    In this 42 day condition, participants will receive monetary reinforcements contingent on submitting breath samples at CO levels indicating reductions or abstinence from smoking (4ppm).

  • Control conditionBehavioural

    In this condition, participants will receive monetary reinforcement for timely breath samples with no contingency for a specific breath CO level

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary outcome for this research will be smoking treatment outcomes (reductions or abstinence) compared across the treatment- and control-condition arms.

    Measured: approximately 9.5 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary outcome for this research will involve the use of pre-treatment assessments of impulsive behavior as predictors of treatment response at the end of the treatment for both conditions and also during followup.

    Measured: approximately 9.5 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CO-Contingent in people with Cigarette Smoking, run by Nationwide Children's Hospital 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 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 22 Jul 2019. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The primary outcome for this research will be smoking treatment outcomes (reductions or abstinence) compared across the treatment- and control-condition arms. (time frame: approximately 9.5 months). 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 22 Jul 2019.
