Salvation Army Tobacco Quit Line Referral Implementation Trial
- Conditions
- Tobacco UseSmokingSmoking Cessation
- Registration Number
- NCT06689774
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Wisconsin, Madison
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how the Salvation Army staff can help people who use tobacco learn about and connect with no-cost treatments to help cut down or quit smoking. Researchers will gather information about the thoughts and experiences of people who smoke tobacco and receive services at the Salvation Army, as well as the experiences of the staff offering support to help treat tobacco use.
- Detailed Description
In this 2-year pilot study, a team of Salvation Army personnel and consumers will work with a member of the University of Wisconsin Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention Regional Outreach team to plan, implement, and evaluate strategies to connect Salvation Army service consumers with the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line for help quitting smoking. The study team will pilot test and refine an enhanced implementation support protocol designed to help Salvation Army teams adapt quitline referral workflows and implementation strategies to fit well with the culture and climate of participating Salvation Army sites, and to enhance Salvation Army staff readiness to connect the consumers they serve with the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line. The study team will also pilot test and refine a strategy that Salvation Army personnel can use to incentivize acceptance of Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line connections by consumers while they are at the Salvation Army service center. To evaluate and enhance the 2 implementation strategies of interest in this study (enhanced implementation support for personnel and an incentive for consumers to accept a connection with the Quit Line while at the Salvation Army), the study team will conduct qualitative interviews with both personnel and consumers at Salvation Army sites, and will collect survey data from personnel and consumers. Service records from both the Salvation Army and Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line will also be collected for this study to help evaluate the reach of the tobacco treatment intervention, and the representativeness of its reach across subpopulations of consumers. Data regarding the process of implementing Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line referral in the Salvation Army will also be gathered via observation and recordings of project team meetings. These sources of data will be integrated to help evaluate how well the strategies of interest work in 2 Salvation Army sites, and to refine these in preparation for a full-scale cluster-randomized clinical trial.
