Cessation Service Use and Effectiveness for Hospitalized Smokers

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Smoking

In brief

The goal of this patient-randomized effectiveness trial is to demonstrate that an inpatient technology-supported assisted referral (I-TSAR) and follow-up approach is an effective and cost-effective method to help hospitalized patients successfully quit smoking. The proposed study represents a unique opportunity to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of linking inpatient and outpatient delivery of smoking cessation services in two large and very different health care delivery systems. We will enroll 900 participants (600 intervention, 300 controls) over 15-months and collect follow-up survey and health care utilization data over 12 months to estimate: 1) smoking abstinence at 6 and 12 months for I-TSAR intervention recipients compared to usual care; 2) the dose effect on smoking abstinence at 6 and 12 months for I-TSAR recipients compared to usual care; 3) total and mean costs per participant for I-TSAR and usual care recipients, and, if effective, estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness of the intervention vs. controls at 12 months from health plan/insurer and societal perspectives; and 4) differences in health care utilization at 12 months for I-TSAR versus controls.
