NCT03200236

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare intensive telephone counseling (ITC) plus the nicotine patch vs. standard telephone counseling plus the nicotine patch (Usual Care; UC) among current smokers undergoing lung cancer screening. Smoking-related outcomes will be examined at three, six and twelve months post-randomization.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Smoking cessation rate at 3-months post-randomization

    Comparison between study arms of 7-day and 30-day point prevalence cessation with biochemical verification. The investigators will also assess quit rates among subgroups (gender, age, nicotine dependence, site).

    Self-report measured at 3-months post-randomization; biochemical verification measured at 3-months.

  • Smoking cessation rate at 6-months post-randomization

    Comparison between study arms of 7-day and 30-day point prevalence cessation with biochemical verification. The investigators will also assess quit rates among subgroups (gender, age, nicotine dependence, site).

    Self-report measured at 6-months post-randomization; biochemical verification measured at 6-months.

  • Smoking cessation rate at 12-months post-randomization

    Comparison between study arms of 7-day and 30-day point prevalence cessation. The investigators will also assess quit rates among subgroups (gender, age, nicotine dependence, site).

    Self-report measured at 12-months post-randomization; biochemical verification measured at 12-month assessment;

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Readiness to quit

    Measured at baseline (T0), 1-2 days post-receipt of screening result (T1), and 3-months (T2), 6-months (T3), and 12-months post-randomization (T4).

  • Quit attempts

    Baseline (T0), 1-2 days post-receipt of screening result (T1),3-, 6- and 12- months post-randomization (T2, T3, T4)

  • TC intervention fidelity

    Through study completion, an average of 3 months post-randomization.

  • Patient reach and patient engagement

    Through study completion, an average of 3 months post-randomization.

  • Costs per arm for study outcomes

    Through study completion, an average of 3 months post-randomization.

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Intensive Telephone Counseling

EXPERIMENTAL

This arm provides a multi-faceted, 8-session intensive telephone counseling (ITC) protocol, tailored on lung cancer screening results, with 8-weeks of free nicotine replacement patches provided (Nicoderm patch, 21mg, 14mg, and 7mg) and primary care engagement.

Behavioral: Intensive Telephone Counseling (8 sessions) with nicotine replacement

Usual Care

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This arm provides a multi-faceted, 3-session usual care telephone counseling (UC) protocol, with 2-weeks of free nicotine replacement patches provided (Nicoderm patch, 21mg, 14mg, and 7mg) and primary care engagement.

Behavioral: Usual Care: Telephone counseling (3 sessions) with nicotine replacement

Interventions

Participants are provided up to 8 counseling sessions lasting approximately 20 minutes each and access to 8-weeks of free nicotine replacement patches. A counselor-initiated discussion of screening results will also be included throughout the counseling sessions.

Intensive Telephone Counseling

Participants are provided up to 3 counseling sessions lasting approximately 20 minutes each and access to 2-weeks of free nicotine replacement patches.

Eligibility Criteria

Age50 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Have a \>20-pack year smoking history (i.e., smoked at least a pack a day for 20 years)
  • Current smokers, regardless of number smoked per day
  • Can be smoking cigarettes, cigarillos, or little cigars
  • English- or Spanish-speaking
  • Ability to provide meaningful consent
  • Have registered for CT lung cancer screening at one of our five participating lung screening sites (for enrollment) and have completed CT lung cancer screening (for subsequent follow-ups).
  • Current smokers are eligible to participate regardless of prior lung cancer screening or prior cessation treatment. Smokers not yet ready to quit will be encouraged to participate.

You may not qualify if:

  • Previously diagnosed with lung cancer
  • Diagnosed with lung cancer during the study (although still eligible to receive free telephone counseling and nicotine replacement)
  • At the T1 assessment when randomization occurs, individuals who have been quit for 8+ days will not be randomized. We will request that they participate in follow-up assessments of smoking status at 3-, 6- and 12-months.
