Detailed Description

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

Study Test:

If you agree to take part in this study, you will collect a saliva sample to test for cotinine to confirm your smoking status. Cotinine is a chemical released in your body when it breaks down nicotine. You will receive a kit in the mail with supplies for the testing. The study staff will call you to make sure that you received the kit and to discuss the instructions with you. To collect the saliva, you will put a small piece of cotton in your mouth for a few minutes. You will mail the saliva sample back to the study staff, using a postage-paid envelope.

Length of Study:

Your participation in this study will be complete after you collect the saliva sample and mail it back to the study staff. Study data will be destroyed 5 years after the study has been completed and the data has been analyzed. Data collected in this study will not be used for future research.

This is an investigational study.

Up to 1,459 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will be enrolled at Harris Health System clinics.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Texas Quitline

Patients interested in smoking cessation treatment by calling the Texas Quitline.

Quitline-Delivered Proactive Telephone Counseling

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Smokers who enroll in treatment receive standard counseling protocol offered by the Quitline. This includes up to five proactive telephone counseling calls, each designed to provide practical expert support to help smokers develop problem-solving and coping skills, secure social support, and design a plan for successful cessation and long-term abstinence.

Follow-Up Phone Call

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Six months after enrolling in treatment with the Texas Quitline, an MD Anderson research team member will contact patients to assess their smoking status via telephone.

Training Providers

Medical staff (i.e., medical assistants, licensed vocational nurses, registered nurse and physicians).

Smoking Cessation Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Medical staff (i.e., medical assistants, licensed vocational nurses, registered nurse and physicians) receive initial face-to-face group training on how to ask patients about their smoking status, advise them to quit, and connect them with the Quitline. The specific content of the session will include information on quitting smoking, how to implement AAC, the effectiveness of telephone counseling for smoking cessation delivered via quitlines, and pharmacotherapies including nicotine replacement.

Qualitative Interviews Concerning the Implementation of AAC

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

MD Anderson staff conduct individual in-depth interviews with administrative leadership as well as those medical staff who are authorized to enter patient information into the EMR and are trained in the Ask-Advise-Connect approach. All in-depth interviews will be recorded and transcribed.
