Engagement With an Adaptive Mobile Health Smoking Cessation Intervention
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Brief telephone advice plus tailored text messages, Mailed nicotine replacement therapy, and 1 other intervention for Tobacco Use Cessation. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a pilot sequential multiple assignment trial (SMART) to understand the optimal timing to assess response to our smoking cessation text message intervention and to measure how adding medications alone compares to adding medications and telephone coaching for those who continue to smoke. This study aims to assess the feasibility of a SMART of a proactively offered text message intervention for smokers in primary care that compares early (4 weeks) versus late (8 weeks) assessment of treatment response and the addition of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) alone or with telephone coaching for non-responders.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
All patients are offered brief advice delivered by telephone by a clinical research coordinator who underwent Tobacco Treatment Specialist core training and a text message program tailored to readiness to quit and quit date. Content is personalized with user's name and Massachusetts General Hospital resources.
Patients who report continued smoking at Early or Late assessment (depending on random assignment) will be offered a 4 week supply of patches and/or lozenges dosed according to package instructions (patches dosed according to cigarettes smoked per day and lozenges dosed according to time to first cigarette).
Patients who report continued smoking at Early (4-week) or Late (8-week) assessment of response will be randomized to receive proactive telephone coaching or not. Proactive coaching will consist of an attempt to reach the patient by telephone in order to review quit activities, provide information about locally available pharmacologic and behavioral treatment options and information sharing with patient's primary care provider. The coach is trained in core Tobacco Treatment Specialist activities.
