NCT05750537

Brief Summary

This research study is being conducted to test the effectiveness of the Enhanced Multicomponent Proactive Navigator-Assisted Cessation of Tobacco Use (EMPACT-Us), an innovative suite of tobacco cessation services designed in partnership with patients, providers, and other community stakeholders during a pilot study. We hypothesize that EMPACT-Us will be more effective than the newly-enhanced usual care on improving engagement in tobacco treatments, quit attempts and biochemically verified cessation at 6-and 12-months post initial offerings.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Engagement with tobacco-use treatment as captured through Electronic Health Record queries

    Engagement with tobacco use treatment is defined as at least one dose/session of evidence-based pharmacotherapy or behavioral counseling for smoking cessation using the EHR.

    7 to 35 months

  • Tobacco-use quit attempts as assessed through Electronic Health Record queries

    Quit attempts are defined as the stated intention to achieve long-term cessation and an ability to refrain smoking evidenced by a self-reported 24-hour period of no smoking. ((e.g. C-TUQ: How long has it been since you last smoked a cigarette (even one or two puffs)?))

    7 to 35 months

  • Biochemically verified tobacco-use cessation as assessed through cotinine saliva test

    Tobacco-use cessation is defined as prolonged abstinence at the 6- and 12- month follow periods, biochemically verified through cotinine saliva tests.

    6 and 12 months
