Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: A counseling program that motivates patients to stop smoking and drinking may reduce the risk of oral cancer. It is not yet known whether motivational stop smoking counseling or motivational stop-smoking and stop drinking counseling is more effective in helping patients stop smoking and drinking.

PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well treatment to stop smoking and drinking works in preventing oral cancer in smokers in Puerto Rico.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* To evaluate the effects of a motivational and problem-solving smoking cessation (MAPS) and a motivational and problem solving approach on at-risk alcohol use and smoking cessation (MAPS+) among Puerto Rican at-risk drinkers/smokers who call the Puerto Rico Quitline (PRQ).
* To assess effects of MAPS and MAPS+ on treatment mechanisms and the role of those mechanisms in mediating these effects on at-risk drinking and smoking cessation.
* To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of MAPS and MAPS+ in the reduction of at-risk drinking and smoking cessation.

OUTLINE: Minimization randomization is applied using the following variables: age, gender, cigarettes/day, number of drinks/day, and depression (score on the Center of Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 intervention arms.

* Arm I (MAPS): Patients receive culturally sensitive self-help materials tailored for alcohol and tobacco users and 7 telephone counseling calls. The MAPS approach includes motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral/problem-solving that focus on smoking cessation.
* Arm II (MAPS+): Patients receive culturally sensitive self-help materials tailored for alcohol and tobacco users and 7 telephone counseling calls. The MAPS+ approach includes motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral/problems solving that focus on smoking cessation and the reduction of at-risk alcohol use.

In both arms, patients receive counseling calls over 15-30 minutes the week before quit date (QD), on QD, 3-5 days after QD, 7-10 days after QD, 15-30 days after QD, 45-60 days after QD, and on day 90 after QD. Patients complete questionnaires for alcohol- and smoking-related measures, self efficacy, stress/negative affects/depression, social support, and physical activity at baseline and weeks 12, 26 and 52 after QD.
