Trial Outcomes & Findings for Project Impact 2: A Culturally Tailored Smoking Cessation Intervention for Latino Smokers (NCT NCT02596711)

NCT ID: NCT02596711

Last Updated: 2020-03-10

Results Overview

The central aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of our treatment interventions. As such, we examined between-group differences on session satisfaction. After completing each session, participants anonymously rated their level of satisfaction with the counseling session. This investigator created scale (Session Satisfaction Scale) used a 5-point Likert scale (from 1 = "Extremely Unsatisfied" to 5 = "Extremely Satisfied"). Mean satisfaction scores were computed for each participant as the average of all session satisfaction scores. Higher scores indicating greater levels of satisfaction. Treatment group session satisfaction group means were tabulated by group (calculated as the average for all participants in each treatment group) and used as a proxy measure of overall intervention acceptability and feasibility.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from the Houston metropolitan area (Harris County, Texas) through fliers at community centers and local health clinics as well as through advertisements online and in print newspapers between February of 2016 and January of 2017.

During baseline visit (prior to randomization), an expired carbon monoxide sample was collected using Bedfont Micro+Smokerlyzer.Additionally, participants able to become pregnant were required to take a routine hCG urine sample pregnancy test to rule out potential pregnancy.An assessment battery was also administered at the baseline visit.

Measure
Health Education (HE)
Used as the control condition. Participants receive general health education and handouts. Participants attend 3 counseling sessions during the study. Each of these counseling sessions are audio recorded. Counselor discusses a health topic (such as sleep, nutrition, and exercise) and how it relates to participant and their smoking. Participants receive 12 weeks of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).
Culturally-Tailored (CT)
Participants given reading materials that highlight how aspects of their culture relate to health, smoking and quitting. Participants attend 3 counseling sessions during the study. Each of these counseling sessions are audio recorded. Participant and counselor discuss how smoking and their culture may relate to each other. Participants receive 12 weeks of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).
Culturally-Tailored With Adherence Enhancement (CT+AE)
Participants given reading materials that highlight how aspects of their culture relate to health, smoking and quitting. Participants attend 3 counseling sessions during the study. Each of these counseling sessions are audio recorded. Participants receive additional talks related to smoking cessation tailored to their culture. Participants receive 12 weeks of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).
