About this study

Official title: Matching Brief Smoking Interventions to Stage of Change

The long-term goal is to improve the quality of life of children and their parents who smoke tobacco by facilitating parental smoking cessation in a way that is easy to administer yet effective. We aim to accomplish this goal by administering an interactive computer-based program that will facilitate motivation and readiness to engage in smoking cessation by providing personalized feedback about the financial and health effects of the parent's smoking. We will compare the changes in motivation and readiness to quit smoking after the parent has taken the computer-based program and compare them to the changes in motivation and readiness to quit in parents who receive only information about the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline. We will also measure salivary cotinine levels in both parents and children, to objectively measure changes in smoking habits and secondhand smoke exposure. Our hypothesis is that our computer-based program will cause a greater increase in motivation and confidence to quit smoking in the group that receives the customized feedback than the group that receives only information about the Tobacco Helpline. We also predict that both parent and child cotinine levels will show a greater decrease in the group randomized to receive personalized feedback.

What participants receive

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

  • Personalized FeedbackBehavioural

    Personalized feedback reflecting the participant's current level of nicotine addiction, money spent on cigarettes, time spent smoking, and health effects of smoking.

Study groups in NCT01921439
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
FeedbackActive comparatorParticipants in this group will receive individualized feedback based on their stage of change. Feedback will include health effects of smoking, money spent per month and per year on cigarettes, time spent smoking compared with time spent doing other daily tasks, and how the participant compares to past study participants in average number of cigarettes per day used and level of addiction.
Receives: Behavioral: Personalized Feedback
No Feedback- Treatment as Usual (TAU)No interventionParticipants will take the computer based survey, but will only receive a number to the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline (Treatment-as-usual condition) instead of feedback.

What is being measured

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

  1. Self-Reported Readiness and Motivation to Quit Smoking

    We will assess changes in self-reported readiness and motivation to quit smoking.

    Measured: Baseline, 1-month, 6-months, 12-months

  2. Parent and Child Salivary Cotinine

    We will assess change in parent and child salivary cotinine throughout the course of the study.

    Measured: Baseline, 1-month, 6-months, and 12-months

  3. Change in self-reported cigarette use

    We will assess changes in self-reported cigarette use throughout the study.

    Measured: baseline, 1-month, 6-months, and 12-months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Personalized Feedback in people with Tobacco Smoking Behavior and Cigarette Smoking Behavior, run by University of Oklahoma 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 3 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 11 Apr 2017. 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?

Self-Reported Readiness and Motivation to Quit Smoking (time frame: Baseline, 1-month, 6-months, 12-months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 Apr 2017.
