Mobile Smoking Cessation Intervention in Enhancing Cancer Outreach in Low-Income Adult Smokers

January 18, 2023 updated by: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Project ACTION: Adult Smoking Cessation Treatment Through Innovative Outreach to Neighborhoods

This trial studies how well a mobile smoking cessation intervention works in enhancing cancer outreach in low-income adult smokers. Mobile smoking cessation intervention may help smokers quit or cut back on smoking, and help increase the range of cancer prevention services provided to low-income adult smokers.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Compare the efficacy of three smoking cessation interventions targeting community based low-income uninsured and underinsured individuals in a group-randomized trial.

II. Evaluate the role of quit motivation, nicotine withdrawal, risk perception, self-efficacy, social support, and negative affect as potential mediators of smoking abstinence.

III. Compare the cost-effectiveness of the three treatment conditions.

OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 3 groups.

GROUP I (STANDARD CARE): Participants undergo standard of care smoking cessation intervention consisting of brief advice to quit smoking, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), and self-help written materials.

GROUP II (ENHANCED CARE): Participants undergo standard of care smoking cessation intervention as in Group I and attend a health feedback counseling session at baseline. Participants also receive access to a smoking cessation hotline telephone number and supportive text messages daily for 12 weeks.

GROUP III (INTENSIVE CARE): Participants undergo standard of care smoking cessation intervention as in Group I and attend a health feedback counseling session at baseline. Participants also receive access to a smoking cessation hotline telephone number, supportive text messages daily for 12 weeks, and a smoking cessation telephone call over 15 minutes weekly for 12 weeks.

After completion of study, participants are followed up at 3, 6, and 12 months.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Smoking abstinence rate
Time Frame: At 12 months
The primary method of analysis will be mixed-model logistic regression.
At 12 months
Cost-effectiveness
Time Frame: At 12 months
Will perform an incremental cost-effectiveness analysis by comparing the expected economic costs and clinical benefits of the three strategies. Will create a decision-analytic model using TreeAge Pro 2007 software to conduct the incremental cost-effectiveness analysis.
At 12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Salivary cotinine levels
Time Frame: At 12 months
Salivary cotinine will be measured using the NicAlert test system.
At 12 months
