Delivery of a Smoking Cessation Induction Intervention Via Virtual Reality (VR) Headset During a Dental Cleaning: Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Experimental smoking cessation video, Control video, and 3 other interventions for Smoking Cessation. Completed, enrolled 440 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to test whether a smoking cessation induction intervention delivered during a dental cleaning appointment increases the utilization of evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for smoking cessation within 7 months post-dental cleaning appointment. Approximately 400 cigarette smokers who are scheduled for a dental cleaning appointment at the Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine (BUGSDM) patient treatment center will be recruited and enrolled. Participants will be randomized to either the intervention or control group
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants who are randomized to the intervention group will watch an educational video that includes tips on quitting smoking during a dental cleaning. The video is approximately 10 minutes long and tailored to readiness to quit at the time of the dental visit.
Participants randomized to the control group will watch a 10 minute video.
All participants will receive identical print materials on EBTs consistent with smoking cessation standard clinical care.
Participants randomized to the intervention group will be enrolled in a 4-week tailored text message program which includes assessment questions in addition to text messages geared towards motivating and facilitating EBT utilization for individuals ready to quit smoking and individuals who are not ready to quit smoking.
Participants randomized to the control group will be enrolled in a different 4-week text message program that includes only assessment questions.
