Brief Title: Mobile Smoking Cessation Intervention in Enhancing Cancer Outreach in Low-Income Adult Smokers
Official Title: Project ACTION: Adult Smoking Cessation Treatment Through Innovative Outreach to Neighborhoods
Study ID: NCT00948129
Brief Summary: 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.
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.
