Trial Outcomes & Findings for Implementation of HIT-Enhanced Tobacco Treatment for Hospitalized Smokers (NCT NCT01691105)

NCT ID: NCT01691105

Last Updated: 2021-09-05

Results Overview

Tobacco abstinence will be assessed by obtaining an exhaled carbon monoxide reading for all subjects self-reporting tobacco abstinence at 12 month follow-up. Consistent with manufacturer's recommendations, a cutoff of 10 ppm will indicate current smoking.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months post enrollment

Population: Only participants self-reporting abstinence during the 12 month follow-up call were asked to provide biochemical verification.

Tobacco abstinence will be assessed by obtaining an exhaled carbon monoxide reading for all subjects self-reporting tobacco abstinence at 12 month follow-up. Consistent with manufacturer's recommendations, a cutoff of 10 ppm will indicate current smoking.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months post enrollment

Population: Only includes participants who completed the 12 month follow-up appointment.

Self-report questionnaires are completed over the phone to assess reduction in cigarette use or abstinence from cigarette use. The Time Line Follow Back technique will be used to assess 7-day point prevalence abstinence.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 month post enrollment

Treatment engagement will be assessed by subject self-report during the 1 month follow-up interview. Subjects will be considered engaged in treatment if at 30 days after randomization the subject reports currently receiving care for the Quitline or another treatment program that addresses the subject's nicotine dependence.
