Developing a Team-Delivered Intervention for Smoking and Hazardous Drinking for Primary Care Veterans With Cardiovascular Diseases (CDA 18-006)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CARE for Cigarette Use and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
In this study, the investigators are interested in learning how patients feel about and are impacted by a new approach for the primary care team to use to talk to patients about heart disease and health behaviors. The investigators were looking to recruit around 40 Veterans from Buffalo and Syracuse to be in this study. What it entailed is being randomly assigned to one of two conditions. If patients are assigned to the first condition, their upcoming primary care appointment will be extended by about 5 minutes because a Health Educator will join the end of that appointment. If they are assigned to the second condition they would have their typical primary care appointment. Beyond that, both conditions are quite similar. They will have an individual meeting following the primary care appointment with the Health Educator, two phone booster meetings at 2 and 4 weeks, and information about an optional app that they have the choice to use to help them track some health behaviors.
