About this study

Official title: Pilot Study Phase - Nonsmoker Interventions to Increase Use of Quitline Services Among Racially Diverse Low Income Smokers

This pilot study is being done to adapt an effective 1 session phone coaching intervention for nonsmoking support persons to a low income population. This study will also pilot new intervention components including text messaging and health incentives. The goal of the intervention is for support persons to prompt their smoker to use quitline services. To see if these methods are effective, smokers in this study will be asked to complete assessments about their quit attempts and smoking status. The study will also evaluate if the smokers use quitline services or not. The preliminary findings will be used to provide data for an R01 NIH grant submission.

Read the detailed description

This is a proposal to conduct a pilot study to adapt an effective 1 session phone coaching intervention for nonsmoking support persons to a low income population. The study will also pilot new intervention components including text messaging and health incentives. The goal of the intervention is for support persons to prompt their smoker to use quitline services. The study will also build on prior work by enrolling smokers for assessments of quit attempts and smoking abstinence. The study uses a non-randomized, single group design. Thirty nonsmoker-smoker dyads will be enrolled in three waves of 10 each. The nonsmokers will receive different intervention components depending on the time of their enrollment. Nonsmokers will complete assessments at baseline and at 1 month follow-up. Smokers will be enrolled for assessments only at baseline and 3 month follow-up. The vendor for the Minnesota state quitline, Alere Wellbeing Inc. (a sole subsidiary of Optum) will track if smokers use quitline services over 3 months of follow-up. The aims of this pilot study are to: (1) Assess the feasibility of enrolling low income, racially diverse nonsmoker-smoker dyads; (2) Adapt and refine the support person intervention components to a low income population with feedback from the nonsmoker participants; and (3) Assess the feasibility of obtaining assessments from the smokers on quit attempts and smoking abstinence outcomes. The preliminary findings will be used to provide data for an R01 NIH grant submission.
