About this study

Official title: Promoting Oral Health Among Tobacco Quitline Callers

The current study will test the effectiveness of a multi-modal behavioral intervention (the Oral Health 4 Life program) targeted to smokers who are ready to quit smoking and seeking services through tobacco quitlines.

The investigators hypothesize that, compared to people in the control arm, participants in the enhanced intervention will:

  1. Be more likely to quit smoking as evidenced by 7 day point prevalent abstinence rates at 6 month follow-up [primary outcome] and at 2 month follow-up [secondary outcome].
  2. Be more likely to see a dental care professional in the past 6 months at 6 month follow-up [primary outcome].
  3. Exhibit more positive change in relevant oral health knowledge/beliefs and attitudes (e.g., self-efficacy, motivation) that could influence future behavior change.
Read the detailed description

Smokers (n = 722; 10 pilot participants and 712 main trial participants) will be recruited when they call to enroll in services with their state-supported tobacco quitline program. Eligible smokers who provide consent and complete the baseline assessment will be randomized to either usual care quitline intervention plus attention-matched text messaging or an enhanced program which integrates standard tobacco cessation counseling with a multi-modal, behavioral oral health promotion program.

Follow-up assessments will be conducted by phone at 2 and 6 months post-enrollment. In addition to examining primary and secondary outcomes of interest (focused on tobacco cessation and utilization of professional dental care), change in potentially relevant intermediate process measures and the incremental cost of delivering the Oral Health 4 Life program will be examined.

What participants receive

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

  • Usual Care ControlBehavioural

    Standard quitline counseling and other treatment materials provided through each participating state quitline program + a series of text messages with general health promotion tips.

  • Enhanced InterventionBehavioural

    Standard quitline counseling and other materials provided through each participating state quitline program + oral health-focused counseling + oral health focused text messages + access to additional oral health educational content (website and written materials) + oral health tools (toothbrush, dental floss)

What is being measured

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

  1. 7 Day Point Prevalent Abstinence (PPA)

    7 day point prevalent abstinence (PPA): self- report of no smoking in the past 7 days. Missing values imputed as smokers.

    Measured: 6 month post-enrollment

  2. Professional Dental Care Utilization in Past 6 Months

    self-reported utilization of professional dental care during study observation period

    Measured: 6 months post-enrollment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. 7 Day Point Prevalent Abstinence (PPA)

    7 day point prevalence abstinence (PPA): self-report of no smoking in the past 7 days with missing outcomes imputed as smokers

    Measured: 2 months post-enrollment

  2. 7 Day Point Prevalent Smoking Abstinence (PPA)

    Self-reported 7 day point prevalence abstinence (PPA) in complete case analysis, using respondent data only. No outcomes imputed.

    Measured: 2 months post-enrollment

  3. 7 Day Point Prevalent Smoking Abstinence (PPA)

    Self-reported 7 day point prevalence abstinence (PPA) in complete case analysis. No outcomes imputed.

    Measured: 6 months post-enrollment
