Trial Outcomes & Findings for Website Smoking Cessation Intervention for the Promotion of Smoking Cessation in Low-Income Veterans (NCT NCT04502524)
NCT ID: NCT04502524
Last Updated: 2023-04-07
Results Overview
Satisfaction ratings regarding the usefulness of specific components of the website program, user comments and suggestions for improvement, presented descriptively. Treatment satisfaction items are reported on a Likert-type scale, with response choices ranging from "not at all satisfied" to "very satisfied". Will dichotomize values at a threshold of "somewhat satisfied" or higher. We tested for differences between arms using a Fisher's Exact test.

Participant Flow
Fifty-three participants were eligible and enrolled in the study. The final sample comprised 49 participants who were randomized between February 3, 2021 and October 22, 2021.
Four participants who were enrolled in the study were not randomized because they were lost to follow-up (n=3) or they withdrew (n=1) prior to randomization.
Participant milestones

Arm I (New Website Program, Handout, Text Message)
Participants complete the new website smoking cessation program which provides values driven, mindfulness based coping skills and utilizes non-judgmental acceptance of uncomfortable internal states like cravings. Participants will also receive text messages consisting of motivational messages and reminders to use the program. At the end of the program, participants receive an email with all session handouts and available resources provided by the VA for continued support for smoking cessation.
Smoking Cessation Intervention (New website): Complete the new website smoking cessation program
Health Education: Receive information about the cost of smoking, benefits of quitting, ways to prepare for quitting, ways to handle triggers and withdrawal symptoms, and available medications to help with quitting. And will receive additional resources available at the VA handout via email at the end of the study.
Health Promotion and Education: Receive motivational and reminder text messages
Questionnaire Administration: Ancillary studies

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline up to 3-month follow-upPopulation: All survey respondents.
Will be assessed by the Contemplation Ladder on a scale from 0 (no thought about quitting) to 10 (taking action to quit). Will calculate change score as follow-up minus baseline score and use a linear regression model with adjustment for the baseline value of the measure of interest and for the stratification variable and baseline readiness to quit (high versus low) to compare between study arms. There were no confounders to adjust for.
