About this study

Official title: Implementing Evidence-Based Tobacco Cessation Strategies in Oncology Clinics

This pilot clinical trial studies evidence-based tobacco cessation strategies in patients with cancer. Stop-smoking plans suggested by doctors may help patients with cancer quit smoking.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess oncology providers' self-reported need for training on evidence-based tobacco cessation strategies and assess their level of interest in future training on evidence-based tobacco cessation strategies.

II. To test the feasibility of the implementation of evidence-based tobacco cessation strategies in community oncology clinics.

III. To test the feasibility of surveying community oncology patients after a clinic visit to assess provider behavior regarding screening and brief intervention for tobacco use.

OUTLINE:

Patients complete a survey over approximately 10-15 minutes related to their provider's cessation advice and assistance with quitting.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 1 month.

Being tested
smoking cessation intervention, survey administration, questionnaire administration

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of providers from the Piedmont Oncology Association (POA) reporting a need for training on evidence-based tobacco cessation strategies

    Will be estimated and 95% confidence intervals (CI) constructed.

    Measured: Up to 1 month

  2. Percentage reporting feeling very confident in their ability to counsel smokers

    Will be estimated and 95% CI constructed.

    Measured: Up to 1 month

  3. Percentage reporting they would be willing to participate in training on evidence-based tobacco cessation strategies

    Will be estimated and 95% CI constructed.

    Measured: Up to 1 month

  4. Proportion of oncology patients willing to complete a survey in an oncology clinic

    Will be estimated and 95% CI constructed.

    Measured: Up to 1 month

  5. Proportion of patients who report that their provider asked about tobacco use during their visit

    These prevalences will be estimated at pre- and post-intervention, and 95% CIs calculated adjusting for the expected within-clinic correlation of patient outcomes. These outcomes will be analyzed further using a subject-specific modeling approach to account for the correlation that occurs due to patients being clustered within clinics.

    Measured: Up to 1 month

  6. Proportion of current smokers who report that their provider advised them to quit during their visit and provided tobacco-cessation strategies

    These prevalences will be estimated at pre- and post-intervention, and 95% CIs calculated adjusting for the expected within-clinic correlation of patient outcomes. These outcomes will be analyzed further using a subject-specific modeling approach to account for the correlation that occurs due to patients being clustered within clinics.

    Measured: Up to 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing smoking cessation intervention, survey administration and questionnaire administration in people with Malignant Neoplasm, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2018. 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?

Percentage of providers from the Piedmont Oncology Association (POA) reporting a need for training on evidence-based tobacco cessation strategies (time frame: Up to 1 month). The study lists 6 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 3 Jul 2018.
