About this study

The principal objective is to test whether offering pregnant smokers a proactive telephone counseling program throughout pregnancy and for 2 months postpartum increases the rate of smoking cessation at end of pregnancy and 3 months postpartum, compared to a "best practice" control condition.

Read the detailed description

A randomized controlled trial compared the efficacy of a proactive pregnancy-tailored telephone-delivered smoking cessation counseling program with a "best practice" brief counseling control condition among pregnant women referred by prenatal care providers and a managed care plan in Massachusetts. Intervention group patients received up to 105 min of cognitive-behavioral counseling delivered in a motivational interviewing style by trained counselors throughout pregnancy and for 2 months postpartum. Control group patients received 5 minutes of brief counseling at 1 telephone call. All participants were mailed written self-help smoking cessation material tailored to pregnancy. The primary outcome measure was cotinine-validated tobacco abstinence at the end of pregnancy. Secondary outcomes were cotinine-validated abstinence at 3 months postpartum and self-reported significant (>50%) reduction in daily cigarette use.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Biochemically-validated 7-day point prevalence tobacco abstinence at end of pregnancy. 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 NCT00181909, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Nov 2006.
