About this study

Official title: Striving to Quit: Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line Tobacco Cessation Research

This study is designed to test the hypotheses that incentives can increase both participation in smoking cessation treatment and resulting cessation rates when they are offered to Medicaid BadgerCare Plus members.

Read the detailed description

Aim 1: To determine the extent to which contingent financial "treatment incentives" (i.e., incentives for biochemical verification visits, treatment engagement, and abstinence) versus "attendance incentives" (i.e., incentives for only attending the biochemical verification visits), increase rates of smoking cessation . Participants will be BadgerCare Plus tobacco users who enroll in Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line (WTQL) services.

Aim 2: To determine the extent to which treatment incentives vs. attendance incentives increase rates of engagement in smoking cessation treatment through the WTQL when offered to BadgerCare Plus members who smoke.

Aim 3: To determine the cost-effectiveness of the smoking cessation program when paired with treatment incentives and when paired with attendance incentives.

Aim 4: To identify moderating and mediational effects regarding the clinical benefit of incentivized smoking treatment

Aim 5: To determine the reach of an incentivized smoking cessation treatment that depends upon primary care clinic staff, a fax-to-quit referral mechanism and a state quit line.

Being tested
Incentives for abstinence and treatment engagement, Attendance incentive
Medical subject headings
Smoking Cessation, Smoking, Tobacco Use Disorder

What is being measured

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

  1. Abstinence from smoking

    The data will be the biochemically confirmed reports of abstinence for the past 7 days (i.e., 7-day point-prevalence abstinence)

    Measured: Measured 6 months after enrollment at follow-up assessment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Engagement in treatment

    The primary analyses will compare number of calls completed

    Measured: Measured 12 months after enrollment at follow-up assessment

  2. Cost-effectiveness

    The primary analysis will contrast the incremental costs of the treatment vs. attendance conditions by computing the Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) with regard to attaining 6-month abstinence.

    Measured: Measured 12 months after enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Incentives for abstinence and treatment engagement and Attendance incentive in people with Smoking Cessation and Smoking, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison.

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 8 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Abstinence from smoking (time frame: Measured 6 months after enrollment at follow-up assessment). 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 6 Dec 2016.
