About this study

In an attempt to reduce smoking-related health disparities, investigators will implement a text messaging-based smoking cessation intervention in collaboration with state quit lines. The approach is based on the successful STOMP (STOp smoking by Mobile Phone) program, a text messaging-based smoking cessation intervention among young Maori adults in New Zealand. Investigators will adapt the STOMP intervention, which will result in a new intervention known as AI STOMP (American Indians STOp smoking by Mobile Phone).The primary aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the AI-STOMP intervention in smoking cessation among American Indians.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial examining the effectiveness of a text messaging-based smoking cessation program among American Indian (AI) smokers who call state quit lines, in states with high AI populations. Participants will be randomized to either receive culturally-tailored text-messages to support smoking cessation or quit line's treatment as usual.

Participants will be recruited by Optum, the company who runs many state quit lines in the US. If - after answering some demographic questions for Optum from the following states: Alaska, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and New Mexico - a person is found to be a AI/AN and 18+ years old, that person will be asked if they would like to receive information about the study. If they answer yes the WSU research team will receive their contact information from Optum via a secure email, and WSU researchers will send a text explaining the study in more detail and a link to the e-consent form.

Participants will also fill out 4 baseline questionnaires. After filling out baseline questionnaires, participants will be randomized to either the intervention group or the control group. Participants will be stratified into the intervention and control groups based on their age, gender, and Fagerstrom nicotine dependence score. Random permuted blocks will be used by on-campus research staff to manually assign participants to the two research groups.

All participants will begin receiving text messages one week before their chosen quit date.

What participants receive

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

  • Culturally Tailored Text MessagesBehavioural

    Members of the intervention group receive culturally tailored messages on the following schedule: 4 messages per day for 1 week prior to target quit date, 4 messages per day for 4 weeks following target quit date, 3 messages per week for 20 weeks following weeks.

InterventionExperimentalMembers of the intervention group will receive culturally tailored text messages encouraging them to quit smoking. They will receive data collection text messages at 6, 12, 18, and 26 weeks post target quit date, assessing their current tobacco smoking behavior.

ControlNo interventionMembers of the control group will receive data collection text messages at 6, 12, 18, and 26 weeks post target quit date, assessing their current tobacco smoking behavior.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants who change smoking status as measured by self-report

    Number of participants who quit smoking while receiving text messages, as measured by self-report at 4 time points over 6 months.

    Measured: 6, 12, 18, and 26 weeks after target quit date

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Culturally Tailored Text Messages in people with Tobacco Use Cessation, run by Washington State University 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 5 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 12 Oct 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?

Number of participants who change smoking status as measured by self-report (time frame: 6, 12, 18, and 26 weeks after target quit date). 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 12 Oct 2018.
