Proactive Health Intervention for Tobacco Users (Get PHIT)

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Smoking
• Interventions: Behavioral: motivational counseling; Behavioral: placebo

• Registration Number: NCT00169260
• Lead Sponsor: Kaiser Permanente

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to understand how information about smokers' health risks affects their attitudes, mood, and behavior.

Detailed Description

The current study will test a community-based, tobacco intervention. The project will compare the effects of a proactive, personally-tailored, biologically-based motivational intervention to those of a proactive, generic motivational intervention for smoking cessation. The biologically-based motivational treatment will include feedback on participants' carbon monoxide (CO) exposure (expired CO and estimated carboxyhemoglobin levels), pulmonary functioning assessed via spirometry, and self-reported smoking-related symptoms. All participants will be given equal access to action-oriented treatment.
