About this study

Official title: Treating Tobacco Dependence in Inpatient Psychiatry

The purpose of this study is to test in a randomized clinical trial a series of hypotheses concerning the efficacy of an extended expert-system intervention plus nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for treating tobacco dependence among patients hospitalized on a smoke-free psychiatric unit.

Read the detailed description

It is hypothesized that the intervention will be more effective than the enhanced standard care control condition (on-unit NRT with self-help brochure) in producing biochemically verified abstinence from cigarettes at 3-, 6-, 12-, and 18-months follow up. Additionally, intervention participants will exhibit greater stage progression, commitment to abstinence, and delay in relapse to smoking following hospital discharge, factors predictive of future success with quitting smoking. Smoking cessation treatments have been shown to be highly cost-effective with the general population of smokers, and cost is likely to be a consideration in efforts to incorporate additional services into an inpatient psychiatric setting. Therefore, a secondary specific aim is to model the cost-effectiveness of the smoking cessation intervention. Intervention efficacy will be examined in a university-based psychiatric inpatient unit. A smaller pilot study will examine translation of the intervention to a county hospital serving a more diversified patient population.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • stage-tailored interventionBehavioural

    This intervention consists of nicotine patch therapy during hospitalization; a stage-based self-help manual; an individualized, expert-system, feedback report at intake, 3 months and 6 months post-hospitalization with carbon copies sent to participants' outpatient clinicians; and an individual 30-min smoking cessation counseling sessions during hospitalization. Additionally, up to 10 weeks of nicotine patch is provided to intervention participants intending to stay quit following hospital discharge.

What does the primary outcome measure?

7 Day Point Prevalence of Cigarette Abstinence (time frame: 3 mo, 6 mo, 12 mo, and 18 mo post-baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00136812, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
