Evaluation of an "Opt-Out" Inpatient Smoking Cessation Service on Smoking Behavior Study #1

January 3, 2024 updated by: Kenneth M Cummings, PhD, Medical University of South Carolina

Dissemination of an Inpatient Smoking Cessation Program to South Carolina Hospitals Study #1

The modest goal of this study is to replicate the behavioral outcomes of the opt out MUSC-Tobacco Treatment Program in the following three patient groups: 1) psychiatric inpatients housed in the Institute of Psychiatry (IOP) in Charleston; 2) non-IOP patients seen in Charleston; and 3) patients seen in the other four MUSC affiliated hospitals combined (i.e., Chester, Florence, Lancaster, and Marion). The aims and the design/methods utilized for evaluation will be the same for each of the three patient groups.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Enhanced Care Condition
Smokers in the enhanced care group will receive live counseling (either in person or telehealth consult) while hospitalized combined with post-hospital discharge automated calls using interactive voice recognition (IVR) technology.
Active Comparator: Basic Care Condition
Smokers assigned to the basic care group will only receive the post-discharge IVR phone calls.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Self-reported smoking prevalence 6-weeks after hospitalization.
Time Frame: Assessed 6-weeks post-discharge
Hypothesize that patients exposed to the enhanced care intervention compared to basic care will report a 2-fold higher 7-day non-smoker prevalence rate after hospitalization (i.e., 20% vs 10%)
Assessed 6-weeks post-discharge
Self-reported use of FDA Approved Smoking Cessation Medication
Time Frame: Assessed 6-weeks post-discharge
Hypothesize that patients exposed to the enhanced care intervention compared to basic care will report a 2.5-fold greater use of an FDA approved stop smoking medication after hospitalization (i.e., 20% vs 8%)
Assessed 6-weeks post-discharge
