Brief Summary

Cigarette smoking is an important cause of illness and death among persons with HIV (PWH). This project will study the impact of adding contingency management (use of financial rewards) to receiving medications and counseling on promoting smoking abstinence and other health outcomes among PWH. As treatments will be provided by clinical pharmacists and other team members in HIV clinics, factors relevant for implementing this model to inform real-world practice will also be evaluated.

EXPERIMENTAL
Drug: nicotine patch, nicotine gum, nicotine lozenge, varenicline, bupropionBehavioral: Multi-target Contingency ManagementBehavioral: Teamlet booster

Interventions

Clinical pharmacist prescribed MTUD, based on participant choice: nicotine patch, nicotine gum, nicotine lozenge, varenicline, bupropion. Participants on nicotine replacement may choose both a long acting (patch) and short acting (gum, lozenge) option to use at the same time.

Teamlet boosterBEHAVIORAL

Participants will receive a booster call by a teamlet member after MTUD is prescribed to address any MTUD access issues and answer MTUD related questions.

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

This project will generate data from patients with HIV and tobacco use disorder being seen for HIV primary care. Data generated will include responses to standardized ratings scales/questionnaires on tobacco use, alcohol, other substance use, depression, hypertension, physical activity, HIV symptoms, and lab data. Data will be collected at baseline, week 12, week 18, week 24. This study will also generate qualitative data and codebooks from in-depth interviews to inform revision and refinement of the intervention and post study participant experiences. Finally, this study will generate longitudinal mixed methods data on teamlet member implementation experiences from surveys and focus groups as well as cost data. Data describing the patient sample, outcome measures, and cost analyses will be de-identified and shared. Interview/focus group guides and codebooks will also be shared. Recordings and transcripts will not be shared publicly since voice is PHI.

Shared Documents
STUDY PROTOCOL, SAP, ICF, ANALYTIC CODE
Time Frame
All de-identified data will be made available after completion of the project and publication of related work and will remain available indefinitely.
Access Criteria
A Data Dictionary will be created, and the study Data Manager and the Program Manager will work with National Addiction \& HIV Data Archive Program (NAHDAP), an NIH-funded repository, to define an appropriate data structure, if one does not already exist. Data will be formatted to align with NAHDAP standards to promote interoperability and data reuse.
