About this trial

The overarching goal of this program of research is to reduce smoking-related health disparities by increasing smoking cessation among Black adults. The goal of this research proposal is to determine whether more intensive, culturally specific, evidence-based interventions are more effective at promoting long-term cessation and other key patient-centered outcomes compared to the usual evidence-based standard of care: services provided by a state-run quitline. This study compares the relative effectiveness of three different treatments (Standard, Intensive, and Intensive Incentivized) on long-term smoking cessation (biochemically confirmed abstinence from combusted tobacco at 26-weeks post-target quit day) among Black adults who smoke and want to quit.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Biochemically confirmed abstinence from combusted tobacco at 26-weeks post-target quit day

The primary outcome for this study will be biochemically confirmed (anabasine less than 2 ng/ml) 7-day point-prevalence smoking abstinence at 26- weeks post-TQD

Time frame
26 weeks post-TQD

Secondary outcomes

1

Biochemically confirmed abstinence from any nicotine product at 26-weeks post-target quit day

salivary cotinine using a cut-off of less than 10 ng/ml to indicate abstinence from any nicotine product (combusted cigarettes, e-cigarettes, nicotine replacement therapy \[NRT\])

Time frame
26 weeks post-TQD
2

Treatment Satisfaction

Scored from 1 to 7 where higher scores indicate increased satisfaction with treatment.

Time frame
8 weeks post-TQD
3

Cigarettes per day

Cigarettes per day based on the past 7 days.

Time frame
baseline, 8 and 26 weeks post-TQD
4

Quality of Life measured by the Medical Outcomes Study's 12-item Short Form Survey Instrument (SF-12)

Scores range from 0 to 100 where higher scores indicate better quality of life.

Time frame
baseline, 8 and 26 weeks post-TQD
