About this study

Official title: Alaska Native Family-Based, Financial Incentives Intervention for Smoking Cessation: Phases 1 and 2

The objective of the proposed study is to develop and beta-test a culturally adapted, Alaska Native family-based incentives intervention for smoking cessation.

Read the detailed description

Aim 1 has two phases:

In Aim 1/Phase 1, we will use qualitative in-depth individual interviews to culturally tailor and adapt the intervention. These interviews (n=36) will include Alaska Native or American Indian (AN/AI) people who smoke (n=12), family members of Alaska Native people who smoke (n=12), and stakeholders from the Alaska Tribal Health System (n=12). We will present the proposed financial incentives intervention to each group and ask them questions about possible concerns, recruitment strategies, possible risks, and appeal to Alaska Native culture. For the stakeholders, we will also ask about potential barriers of implementing the program into their organization/department.

In Aim 1/Phase 2, we will beta-test and refine the intervention with 10 dyads comprising of an AN/AI person who smokes and their family member. The beta-test will last for 6 months. The dyad will receive cash rewards of increasing value over the course of the 6 months for negative, completed smoking status checks. A negative check-in counts as self-reported abstinence and biochemically confirmed abstinence: saliva cotinine sample measuring ≤ 30 n/ml (negative Alere iScreen result) and expired carbon monoxide sample measuring ≤ 6 ppm with iCOQuit device.

What participants receive

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

  • Phases 1 and 2Behavioural

    Phase 1 participants will help inform the cultural adaptation of the study design and materials. Phase 2 will enroll 10 dyads (20 individuals) of AN/AI people who smoke and a family member. Dyad participants will help beta-test the feasibility and acceptability of the financial incentives intervention.

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?

Change in smoking status (time frame: 6 months, 12 months). 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 NCT05413265, 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.
