What participants receive

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

  • Treatment as usualBehavioural

    Participants in the Treatment as Usual study arm will be provided with the following: 1) brief smoking cessation counseling as recommended in the Public Health Service treatment guidelines; 2) direct referral to the NY/NJ State Quitline; 3) a brochure that describes the Quitline services and provides contact information via telephone or internet; 4) a NY State brochure on HIV and smoking that identifies the specific risks of smoking for PLWHA; and 5) referral assistance to participants who present with untreated co-morbid conditions.

  • AIR (Aspirations, Inspiration, Respiration)Behavioural

    Participants in the Aspirations, Inspiration, and Respiration study arm will receive all of the components of Treatment as Usual along with these additional components: 1) a lung age test to determine the ability and functioning of their lungs; 2) a personal lung health report with their lung age, the CO level of their breath, and a summary of their respiratory symptom assessment; 3) a review of this personal lung health report with a study counselor, 4) motivational interviewing techniques guided by Self-Determination Theory concepts to explicitly elicit at least one life aspiration of the patient and encourage discussion of such aspirations using an autonomy-supportive approach.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Treatment As Usual (TAU)This study is a pilot intervention trial examining the feasibility of a motivational smoking cessation intervention using respiratory biomarker feedback in low income PLWHA. The plan is to recruit a pilot sample of 50 eligible and consented participants, randomized at a 1:1 ratio into either the Treatment As Usual (TAU) condition or the experimental (Aspiration, Inspiration Respiration, or AIR) intervention condition.
Receives: Behavioral: Treatment as usual
Aspiration, Inspiration Respiration, or AIRThis study is a pilot intervention trial examining the feasibility of a motivational smoking cessation intervention using respiratory biomarker feedback in low income PLWHA. The plan is to recruit a pilot sample of 50 eligible and consented participants, randomized at a 1:1 ratio into either the Treatment As Usual (TAU) condition or the experimental (Aspiration, Inspiration Respiration, or AIR) intervention condition.
Receives: Behavioral: AIR (Aspirations, Inspiration, Respiration)

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of a motivational tobacco cessation intervention

    The study will test whether the percentage of eligible and enrolled study participants who complete the assigned intervention is significantly different from a population of percentages centered at 45%, i.e., the "null population percentage," considered a percentage too low to be compatible with feasibility."

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Estimate the differences between the experimental intervention

    Assess potential factors influencing study participation by community organizations" and, as the description, "Descriptive statistics will be summarized by participating community organizations on each organization's "Implementation Factors" assessment, an agency study participation measure developed for this project. The measure assesses how many clients the agency has referred, what means were used to recruit, and what barriers to recruitment were encountered, and an open-ended question is provided for additional input."

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tobacco Cessation and HIV, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering 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 8 inclusion and 2 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 4 Nov 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. 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?

Feasibility of a motivational tobacco cessation intervention (time frame: 2 years). 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 4 Nov 2019.
