Official title
Using Alternative Nicotine Delivery Systems (ANDS) to Reduce Harm for Low SES Cigarette Smokers. (Tri-PEC Study)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study investigates whether providing 8 weeks of complimentary electronic cigarettes (EC) or nicotine pouches (NP) to low socioeconomic status (SES) adults who smoke and are unable or unwilling to quit smoking will lead to: a) substitution of cigarette smoking with EC or NP; and b) reduced biological indicators of tobacco use and harm relative to those continuing to smoke as usual. This study also examines the feasibility and acceptability of providing EC or NP to help substitution of combustible cigarettes, exploring willingness to participate, continuing with the study, and barriers to substitution through interviews. This project will enroll 45 low SES adults who smoke and will be randomized to one of the three groups that will be followed for 8 weeks: EC, NP, or smoking as usual. The first study hypothesis is that participants receiving EC or NP will smoke fewer cigarettes per day and have lower cigarette dependence at Week 8 relative to their baseline level, and when compared to the control group. The second hypothesis is that those in the EC or NP group will have greater cigarette abstinence than those smoking as usual at Week 8. There are no anticipated differences between those receiving EC and NP. The third hypothesis is that biological indicators of tobacco use and harm will be lower in those receiving EC or NP relative to their baseline level, and when compared to the control group. The hypothesis is that these biological indicators will be lower in those receiving NP than EC.
