About this study

Using a single-arm trial design, this study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of evaluating QuitAdvisorDDS, a clinical decision support software application designed to facilitate implementation of evidence-based tobacco treatment interventions into the dental setting. The study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of evaluating the impact of the QuitAdvisorDDS tool on patient outcomes related to tobacco use and cessation attempts as well as provider knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding tobacco treatment. Practitioners (dentists and hygienists) will complete surveys at baseline and follow-up, while patients will complete surveys at baseline and 1-month follow-up. An embedded substudy will also evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of collecting biospecimens (saliva) to serve as biochemical verification of smoking status.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Patient Acceptability A: Rate of Patient Wanting Provider to Use QA-DDS

    80% of participating patients must indicate that they would want their dental practitioner to continue to use QA-DDS.

    Measured: Immediately Post-Consultation up to 1 week

  2. Primary Patient Acceptability B: Rate of Patient Wanting to Use QA-DDS Patient Portal

    80% of participating patients must indicate that they would want to continue to use the QA-DDS Patient Portal.

    Measured: 1-Month Follow-Up

  3. Primary Patient Feasibility A: Rate of Patient Completion of 1-Month Follow-Up Survey

    80% of the enrolled dental care patients must complete the 1-month follow-up survey with the 7-day point prevalence measure of self-reported smoking status.

    Measured: 1-Month Follow-Up

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Secondary Patient Acceptability A: Average QA-DDS Satisfaction Ratings Among Patients on 0-10 Scale

    Average QA-DDS satisfaction ratings among enrolled dental patients must be 7 or greater on a 0-10 scale.

    Measured: Immediately Post-Consultation up to 1 week

  2. Secondary Patient Feasibility A: Rate of Patient Accrual by Study Practices

    75% of the study practices must recruit 10 eligible dental patients within a 4-month recruitment phase

    Measured: 4-Month Follow-Up

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 Patient Acceptability A: Rate of Patient Wanting Provider to Use QA-DDS (time frame: Immediately Post-Consultation up to 1 week). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02570646, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
