Cessation of Smoking Trial in the Emergency Department
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CoSTED Intervention for Smoking Cessation and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 972 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The Cessation of Smoking Trial in the Emergency Department (CoSTED) is an National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Technology Assessment (HTA) funded randomised controlled trial (RCT). The research question is "in people attending the Emergency Department who smoke, does a brief intervention (including the provision of an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) and referral to stop smoking services) increase smoking cessation in comparison with usual care and is it cost effective?" The trial includes an internal pilot, health economic evaluation and process evaluation. The primary outcome is smoking cessation, self-reported as continuous smoking abstinence, biochemically validated by carbon monoxide monitoring with cut off of ≥8ppm. The sample size is 972 (486 in intervention and control) across 6 sites.
