Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Guided Imagery Tobacco Cessation Intervention Delivered by a Quit Line and Website (NCT NCT02968381)

NCT ID: NCT02968381

Last Updated: 2022-06-22

Results Overview

Tobacco use over the past seven days is assessed by project staff at 6-months post-enrollment. Tobacco use includes cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, and other types of tobacco. The question is asked "Have you smoked, even a puff, in the last 7 days?" "Have you used any other form of tobacco in the last 7 days?" If yes to either question, the participant is asked to indicate what type of tobacco was used and how much was used (e.g., "how many cigarettes did you smoke on a typical day?").

Change in Tobacco Use for Non-quitters From Baseline to Follow-up
9.1 Cigarettes
Standard Deviation 6.1
11.2 Cigarettes
Standard Deviation 9.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

An abbreviated version of the Condiotte and Lichtenstein (1981) Confidence Questionnaire consisting of 5 items for quitters and 6 items for non-quitters. All items are scored using a 5-point Likert scale where 1 is low/less and 5 is high/more. We calculated an average score of the items (which would have a value between 1 and 5).

Standard Deviation 1.1
4.0 units on a scale
Standard Deviation 1.2

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

This was assessed using 1 item adapted from the Shiffman (2004) Rating Scale ("How much have you craved tobacco today?"). Responses were coded using a 6-point Likert scale from "not at all" (code 0) to "a great deal" (code 5).
