Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Recent studies have shown that proactive phone counseling from State-sponsored telephone tobacco help lines has a positive effect on tobacco cessation. The use of these help lines offers a unique supplement to the dental professional that could reduce the burden on practitioner and enhance the likelihood of their patients' quitting. Referral to a specialist is within the common heuristic followed by dental and medical practitioners. Therefore, we believe referral to a telephone help line may be an innovative way of enabling dentists and dental hygienists to encourage and support their patients to quit tobacco.
We will test two levels of intervention as compared to usual care in a randomized clinical trial in which 60 dental practices in Mississippi are randomized to one of three conditions. In one condition ("5A's"), the dental team will provide a brief office-based intervention that is modeled on the "5A's" advocated by the Clinical Practice Guideline. In the second condition ("3A's" + THL), the dental team will provide the first three "A's" (Ask, Advise, Assess), and then refer patients to the State-supported telephone help line for provision of the cessation counseling and follow-up support. In the third condition (Usual Care), volunteering practices will ask their patients only to complete our study surveys.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
1
Usual Care Control: Patients receive treatment as usual
No interventions assigned to this group
2
"5 A" Intervention Condition: Patients in this condition receive all five "A" components (Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, Arrange) recommended in the Clinical Practice Guideline: Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence.
5 A
Dental providers are trained to provide Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist and Arrange to all tobacco using patients. Written materials are provided, including information on local cessation resources, pharmacotherapy and tobacco quitlines.
3
"3 A" Condition: Patients receive Ask, Advise, Arrange intervention consisting of the first two "A" components recommended by the Clinical Practice Guideline: Treating tobacco Use and Dependence, plus Fax-to-Quit referral to a tobacco quit line.
3 A
Providers are trained to provide Ask, Advise and Arrange intervention to all tobacco using patients. Written materials, prescription for NRT and a Fax-to-Quit referral are provided.
