Motivational Interviewing and Air Cleaners for Smokers With COPD (MOVE COPD)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Active HEPA Air Cleaner, Motivational interviewing, and 1 other intervention for COPD, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Completed, enrolled 144 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
COPD is characterized by lung injury and inflammation caused by noxious particles and gases, including those emanating from cigarette smoke and air pollution. Despite the clear detrimental impact of poor air quality on respiratory outcomes, regardless of smoking status, to investigators' knowledge, there are no studied environmental interventions targeting indoor air quality to improve respiratory health of smokers, thus ignoring a potential target for harm reduction. Investigators propose a randomized controlled intervention trial to test whether targeted reductions of multiple indoor pollutants (PM, SHS and NO2) in homes of smokers with COPD will improve respiratory outcomes. Investigators have chosen a potent, multimodal intervention (active air cleaners + Motivational intervention for SHS reduction) in order to maximize the opportunity to prove that there is a health benefit to active smokers with COPD from indoor air pollution reduction.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The active treatment arm will receive two active air cleaners with HEPA and carbon filters to support a home smoking ban and SHS reduction.
The active treatment arm will receive 4 sessions of phone based motivational interviewing to support a home smoking ban and SHS reduction (in addition to the smoking cessation counseling received by all study participants). The Control arm will receive only continued counseling for smoking cessation.
The Control arm will receive sham air cleaners
