About this study
This is a clustered randomized control trial to test the Tobacco Tactics intervention among Operating Engineers (heavy equipment workers). The intervention group will be directed to the Tobacco Tactics website, and the control group will be directed to the state supported 1-800 quit-now telephone hotline during routine annual safety training that all Operating Engineers are required to attend. The web-based quitting intervention includes provision of over-the-counter nicotine replacement therapy and will be followed by nurse email and/or telephone counseling. It is expected that Operating Engineers who are randomized to the Tobacco Tactics website intervention will have at least equal or greater decreases in smoking at 30-day and 6-month follow-up compared to those randomized to the 1-800-QUIT-NOW quit line. In addition, the investigators expect to find that Operating Engineers randomized to the Tobacco Tactics website intervention will: a) be able to accomplish tasks; b) be able to accomplish goals with skill and speed; c) be able to operate the system; d) be satisfied with the website; e) access the site repeatedly; and f) spend time on the site during the intervention period.

Tobacco Tactics Web-Based InterventionBehavioural
The Tobacco Tactics Web-Based Intervention contains website, medications, and nurse counseling.
1-800-QUIT-NOW Telephone HotlineOther
The control group receives efficacious smoking cessation treatment via the 1-800-QUIT-NOW telephone hotline. The 1-800-QUIT-NOW hotline is a national program. The first time smokers call the hotline, they receive a personal coach who assists them in setting a quit date and making an individualized quit plan. The personal coach also provides on-going support with up to five telephone coaching sessions around the caller's quit date.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Quit Rate
The investigators will measure 7-day point prevalence abstinence by asking the well validated question, "Have you used any tobacco products (even one puff) in the past 7 days?" The investigators will also assess harm reduction (ability to quit at all, number of quit attempts, and number of cigarettes smoked per day).
Measured: 30-day Follow-Up
Quit Rate
The investigators will measure 7-day point prevalence abstinence by asking the well validated question, "Have you used any tobacco products (even one puff) in the past 7 days?" Smoking status will be confirmed by biochemical verification in the form of urinary cotinine test strips. The investigators will also assess harm reduction (ability to quit at all, number of quit attempts, and number of cigarettes smoked per day).
Measured: 6-Month Follow-Up

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Tobacco Tactics Web-Based Intervention and 1-800-QUIT-NOW Telephone Hotline in people with Smoking and Tobacco Use Cessation, run by University of Michigan 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.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2014. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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?
Quit Rate (time frame: 30-day Follow-Up). 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?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01124110, which also lists 10 linked publications.
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 18 Nov 2014.
