Connect to Quit: Coordinated Care for Smoking Cessation Among Low Income Veterans
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Coordinated Care and Usual Care for Smoking and Smoking Cessation. Completed, enrolled 633 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research study is to examine the effectiveness of an intervention designed to reduce smoking in low income veterans within a regional United States Veterans Administration(VA) health care system. A proactive, personalized, coordinated system of care "Connect to Quit (CTQ)" is rooted in the Chronic Care Model. CTQ treats smoking as a chronic condition, like hypertension or diabetes, that requires long term treatment with appropriate combinations of behavioral therapy and pharmacotherapy. CTQ will be evaluated in the context of three (3) VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) medical practices.
