Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Evaluate the Reach of Ask Advise Connect (AAC) Smoking Cessation Program
Reach defined as the proportion of smokers that enroll in treatment with the Quitline. To evaluate the reach of AAC, we will calculate the proportion of smokers seen at the 13 Harris Health System community health clinics during the two-year treatment dissemination period that enroll in treatment with the Quitline.

Secondary Outcomes (1)
Efficacy of Ask Advise Connect (AAC) Smoking Cessation Program
6 months
Study Arms (2)
Texas Quitline
Patients interested in smoking cessation treatment by calling the Texas Quitline.
Training Providers
Medical staff (i.e., medical assistants, licensed vocational nurses, registered nurse and physicians).
Interventions
Smokers who enroll in treatment receive standard counseling protocol offered by the Quitline. This includes up to five proactive telephone counseling calls, each designed to provide practical expert support to help smokers develop problem-solving and coping skills, secure social support, and design a plan for successful cessation and long-term abstinence.
Six months after enrolling in treatment with the Texas Quitline, an MD Anderson research team member will contact patients to assess their smoking status via telephone.
Medical staff (i.e., medical assistants, licensed vocational nurses, registered nurse and physicians) receive initial face-to-face group training on how to ask patients about their smoking status, advise them to quit, and connect them with the Quitline. The specific content of the session will include information on quitting smoking, how to implement AAC, the effectiveness of telephone counseling for smoking cessation delivered via quitlines, and pharmacotherapies including nicotine replacement.
MD Anderson staff conduct individual in-depth interviews with administrative leadership as well as those medical staff who are authorized to enter patient information into the EMR and are trained in the Ask-Advise-Connect approach. All in-depth interviews will be recorded and transcribed.
