About this study

Official title: Menominee Smoking Cessation Clinical Trial

The purpose of this community-based study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a culturally-tailored smoking cessation treatment for American Indian (AI) smokers as compared to standard evidence-based cessation treatment (not culturally-tailored).

Read the detailed description

Smoking is the leading preventable cause of illness and death. American Indians (AIs) have the highest rate of smoking but very little research has addressed how to help AIs quit smoking. AIs also suffer health disparities related to the addictive use of commercial tobacco. Many AIs also use natural tobacco for ceremonial purposes in addition to using commercial tobacco in an addictive manner. This study will add important new knowledge about how best to help AI smokers quit smoking (addictive use of commercial tobacco) and this is expected to help reduce the prevalence of smoking and smoking-related illness in AI communities. The "Menominee Smoking Cessation Clinical Trial" is a community-based study designed to evaluate a culturally-appropriate, evidence-based smoking cessation intervention for AI smokers. This project joins together collaborators at the University of Wisconsin Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention (UW-CTRI; PI Dr. Stevens Smith; smoking cessation expertise), the UW Carbone Comprehensive Cancer Center (UWCCC), the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM; Dr. Leah Arndt; qualitative analysis expertise), and the Menominee Tribal Clinic (MTC; Wellness Director Mr. Mark Caskey; MTC Director Mr. Jerry Waukau, an enrolled member of the Menominee Tribe; and Ms. Jodi Fossum, an enrolled member of the Menominee Tribe) that serves Menominee and other AI patients. The study will randomize 150 AI smokers to two treatment conditions: (1) a standard evidence-based smoking cessation treatment condition (FDA-approved varenicline for 12 weeks + 4 counseling sessions), and, (2) a culturally-tailored smoking cessation treatment condition consisting of the standard treatment (FDA-approved varenicline for 12 weeks + 4 counseling sessions) plus culturally-appropriate treatment elements. Follow-up will be conducted at 3 and 6 months post-quit to assess smoking status and other study outcomes. We also plan to collect and analyze qualitative data (this aspect of the study will be led by Dr. Arndt) to learn more about the process and factors associated with cessation of commercial tobacco in American Indians including cultural factors.

What participants receive

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

  • Standard Treatment CounselingBehavioural

    Standard Treatment Counseling will be based on recommendations in the 2008 U.S. Public Health Service Guideline (Treating Use and Dependence) including topics on preparing to quit, nicotine addiction, coping with stressors and challenging situations, coping with withdrawal symptoms, seeking support, and relapse prevention. Counseling will be delivered in an accessible, personalized manner by Ms. Fossum (an enrolled member of the Menominee Tribe) but no American Indian culturally-appropriate treatment elements will be incorporated into the counseling. In other words, the counseling in the Standard Treatment will be similar to the kind of evidence-based counseling offered to other smokers regardless of race or ethnicity.

  • Culturally-Tailored TreatmentBehavioural

    The Culturally-Tailored Treatment consists of the Standard Treatment Counseling plus culturally-appropriate treatment elements including: discussion of the long history of sacred/traditional use of tobacco (honoring and respecting native traditions) and how it differs from use of commercial tobacco use (harming health); custom booklet on smoking and smoking cessation tailored for Menominee and other American Indian smokers; and participants will be encouraged to make their own traditional tobacco pouch (symbol of long life)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 7-day Point-prevalence Smoking Abstinence

    Self-reported abstinence (versus smoking) during the past 7 days at the 6-month follow-up time-point, verified by exhaled breath carbon monoxide (CO) measurement (< 10 parts per million CO is indicative of no smoking).

    Measured: 6 months
