Official title
Optimizing Pharmacist-Led Tobacco Treatment for Individuals Who Smoke and Are Not Ready to Make a Quit Attempt in Federally-Qualified Health Centers
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study uses a factorial optimization experiment to identify which treatment components help adults who smoke and are not ready to quit in the next 30 days (smokers not ready to quit, or SNRTQ) achieve smoking cessation. Participants are recruited through Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in Virginia and West Virginia. All participants receive at least 8 weeks of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) patch. Using a 2×2×2×2 factorial design, the study independently tests four components: a pharmacist-delivered behavioral program (VergeRx), a text-message support program (SmokefreeTXT), the addition of an NRT lozenge to the patch, and an extended 16-week course of the NRT patch versus the standard 8 weeks. The goal is to estimate the effect of each component on biochemically confirmed smoking abstinence so that an optimized treatment package can be assembled. The primary outcome is abstinence at 26 weeks; a secondary outcome is abstinence at 52 weeks.
