Clinical Effort Against Smoke Exposure in Cystic Fibrosis

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Cystic Fibrosis
Interventions
Behavioral: Tobacco Treatment Specialist (TTS) intervention
Registration Number
NCT04777344
Lead Sponsor
University of Alabama at Birmingham
Brief Summary

The study will test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a multi-component smoking cessation intervention tailored to the needs of caregivers of children with CF and delivered in clinical settings as part of routine CF care. The ultimate goal of this effort is to reduce the exposure of children and adolescents with CF to tobacco smoke.

Detailed Description

This is a single-center, randomized, open-label study to test the feasibility and acceptability (primary outcomes) and preliminary efficacy (secondary outcome) of a multi-component smoking-cessation intervention delivered by a tobacco treatment specialist (TTS) integrated in the multidisciplinary CF care team.

The intervention will be tested in a two-group design with a 2:1 allocation. Participants (dyads of caregiver/CF child) will be randomized to either intervention or control group. The intervention group (N=24) will receive the multi-component intervention (intake assessment, follow-up, help with obtaining nicotine replacement therapy, and CF-specific smoke exposure education). The control group (N=12) will receive usual care plus CF-specific smoke exposure education.
