About this study

Our goal is to study self-monitoring of smoking as a means to reduce smoking in pregnant women. Investigators hypothesize that more regular self-monitoring, text messages and feedback as provided by home carbon monoxide monitoring device combined with medical feedback on results will reduce smoking during pregnancy compared to only receiving text message and no self-monitoring by home monitoring device and no feedback by home carbon monoxide monitoring device . The periconceptual period is a life period, where given the immediacy of the fetus and future child, a pregnant woman is willing to try and modify potentially harmful behaviors.

Read the detailed description

Altering unhealthy behaviors, such as tobacco smoking, that increase cardiovascular disease and cancer risk, has proven remarkably difficult in traditional medical practice settings, and successful medical trials have been costly and labor intensive. This proposal aims to utilize a self-monitoring device, i.e., carbon monoxide monitor to foster smoking cessation among pregnant women who smoke. Investigators hypothesize that women who have access to a self-monitoring device more frequently (i.e., at home) and receive feedback about their carbon monoxide level will have greater reductions in smoking as determined by declining serum cotinine levels over the course of the study compared to women who do not have access to a self-monitoring device and do not receive feedback about their carbon monoxide level, but only receive text messages.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Outcome of Serum Cotinine Levels

    The primary outcome is the difference in serum cotinine levels between the intervention and control groups at the end of the trial.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing piCO+ Smokerlyzer® monitor and Text messages in people with Pregnancy and Smoking, run by Milton S. Hershey Medical 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 4 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 16 Jan 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Jan 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Primary Outcome of Serum Cotinine Levels (time frame: 1 year). 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 16 Jan 2017.
