About this study
Official title: A Low-Cost, High-Access Intervention to Increase Intention to Change Alcohol/Tobacco Use Among Reticent Veterans Who Are Non-Responders to Brief Advice at High Risk Due to Chronic Conditions
Many Veterans who have chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease or diabetes smoke or drink too much alcohol, which can worsen the condition. Veterans are asked yearly about drinking/smoking and providers provide a brief advice discussion focused on behavior change. However, many Veterans continue to drink or smoke, and are often not interested in higher-intensity, change-based referrals. The investigators recently piloted MINDSET, an intervention that fills this gap. MINDSET is a proactive, population-based intervention that uses a mailed packet with tailored education about how drinking/smoking relate to the Veteran's condition (heart conditions and/or diabetes), followed by a brief motivational call. The investigators will test MINDSET's effectiveness versus usual primary care on outcomes including intention to change and substance use and evaluate the relationships between these and other variables over time.
Read the detailed description
Background: Chronic diseases are prevalent, costly, and have been linked to increased risk of mortality and morbidity in Veterans. Hazardous alcohol use and cigarette smoking can significantly exacerbate these negative consequences for Veterans. To help mitigate risk, VHA primary care health initiatives have prioritized hazardous alcohol use and cigarette smoking and have mandated that patients be annually screened and receive a brief intervention (primary care intervention delivered by the patient-aligned care team; PACT) if positive. However, many Veterans continue to smoke and/or hazardously drink. Current VHA treatment options do not meet the needs of these reticent Veterans. Motivational Intervention Designed for Self-management and EducaTion (MINDSET) is an evidence-based, remote, low-resource intervention that uses a motivational approach to increase change intentions within the context of their chronic disease.
Significance: Most healthcare costs come from Veterans with chronic diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease; CVD), which are worsened by hazardous alcohol use and smoking. This research addresses multiple VHA priorities through its focus on increasing access to care for a subgroup of reticent Veterans with chronic disease. MINDSET's integrated focus on smoking and hazardous drinking in the context of chronic disease management aligns with Veteran's priorities, and diabetes and CVD were a top ranked health concern by Veterans. This work is also very well aligned with several HSR\&D Priorities, including Complex Chronic Disease Management, Mental \& Behavioral Health, Women's Health, Aging, and Access to Care.
Innovation \& Impact: MINDSET's design, which recognizes the competing demands within medical settings, intentionally utilizes universal and accessible dissemination methods (e.g., mail and telephone) to decrease burden while increasing reach and impact. This study uniquely fills a gap in VHA and HSR\&D research as there are no evidence-based interventions tailored for this subgroup of reticent Veterans who smoke and/or drink above recommended limits and have co-occurring CVD, cardiac risk factors, and/or diabetes. The impact potential is high, as moving this subgroup of reticent Veterans toward changing smoking/hazardous drinking will dramatically decrease their health risks and healthcare costs.
Specific Aims: The proposed work will evaluate MINDSET+usual care (UC) in comparison to UC alone (brief primary care advice) on precursors to change (i.e., behavioral control, intention to change), and substance consumption.
Methodology: The investigators will conduct a type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation RCT, where enrolled Veterans will be randomized to either the intervention condition UC (i.e., primary care brief advice) alone or (usual care [UC]+MINDSET). Assessments will occur every 4 weeks, with comprehensive assessments every 3 months for one year. The investigators will utilize a stratified block randomization method based on whether Veterans report only smoking, only hazardously drinking, or both. The investigator's primary outcome will assess participants' intention to change each behavior separately, and a total summed score across items divided by the number of items endorsed (based on behaviors engaged in) will be utilized to summarize their overall intention to change. It is important to note that Veterans will be recruited nationally for this fully telehealth-based study.
Next Steps/Implementation: If MINDSET is effective, additional implementation research/efforts will be proposed.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
MINDSETBehavioural
Also called Motivational INtervention Designed for Self-management and EducaTion
A behavior-change model informed mailed informational packet with tailored health information regarding the impacts of smoking/drinking on chronic disease and the benefits of stopping, followed by a brief motivational telephone booster call from a behavioral health provider.
Usual CareOther
Also called UC
All Veterans involved in this study will have a standard primary care (PC) appointment, which may include conversations/interventions related to drinking and smoking. This appointment is not controlled by the study team and we cannot comment on the extent to which smoking/drinking will or will not be discussed in the primary care appointment but we imagine this can range from no discussion/intervention at all to extensive conversations with the provision of medications, brief advice, etc.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| MINDSET+UC | Experimental | Within one month following a standard primary care appointment (which comprises usual care; UC), Veterans in this condition will receive the MINDSET intervention which consists of: a behavior-change model informed mailed informational packet with tailored health information regarding the impacts of smoking/drinking on chronic disease and the benefits of stopping, followed by a brief motivational telephone booster call from a behavioral health provider. Receives: Behavioral: MINDSET |
| Usual Care | Active comparator | All Veterans in this study will have a primary care appointment during which their primary care team will administer whatever tobacco/alcohol use assessment and intervention they typically would. Receives: Other: Usual Care |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing MINDSET in people with Tobacco Smoking and Alcohol-Related Disorders, run by VA Office of Research and Development at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Julie C Gass, PhD ((716) 834-9200 ext. 5429, Julie.Gass@va.gov), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Theory of Planned Behavior Intention subscale (time frame: Baseline, 4-weeks, 8-weeks, 12-weeks, 16-weeks, 20-weeks, 24-weeks, 28-weeks, 32-weeks, 36-weeks, 40-weeks, 44-weeks, 48-weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 31 Dec 2025.
