About this study

This is a 2-group RCT in 380 tobacco-using medical patients that will compare a single session, computer-directed 5 A's intervention for smoking (experimental condition) to screening and resource provision (control condition). Follow-up visits will occur at 1 and 3 months post study enrollment. Measures will focus on tobacco use and related psychosocial outcomes (e.g. mood, stress). We will compare resources used and economic costs needed to implement each intervention.

The Investigators hypothesize that patients receiving the computer-directed intervention will have significantly higher tobacco abstinence rates at 3 months post study enrollment compared to the control group. If indeed the computerized intervention increases tobacco abstinence rates compared to the control group, this intervention could be used to increase access to treatment for the millions of US smokers, ultimately reducing tobacco mortality and morbidity rates in this country.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tobacco use

    The primary outcome variable for this study will be smoking cessation at 3 month follow-up as measured by self-report, salivary cotinine and carbon monoxide levels.

    Measured: 3 months post-randomization

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mood and stress

    By using the K-10 Instrument

    Measured: 3 months post-randomization

  2. Resource utilization and economic costs

    Measured: 3 months post-randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Computer-directed 5 A's intervention for smoking and Screening and resource provision in people with Smoking, run by Virginia Commonwealth University 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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Dec 2015. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Insufficient sample size to complete study and merged with parent grant funded study). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Tobacco use (time frame: 3 months post-randomization). 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 21 Dec 2015.
