Proactive Population Health Strategy to Offer Tobacco Dependence Treatment to Smokers
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Smoking, Tobacco
In brief
Health care systems are key channels for delivering tobacco cessation treatment to the smokers in a population. A population-based approach could complement office-based care and offload busy clinicians. The project will conduct population-based proactive outreach to current smokers in a health care system's primary care practices and randomize smokers who respond to the outreach to 3 groups: 2 alternative evidence-based cessation resources or to usual care. Specific Aims: Aim 1: To determine the feasibility and reach of the program Aim 2a: To determine whether the 2 intervention arms combined increase the proportion of smokers who use tobacco cessation treatment over a 6-month follow-up compared to those randomized to usual clinical care. Aim 2b: To determine whether each of the two intervention arms increases the proportion of smokers who use tobacco cessation treatment over a 6-month follow-up, compared to those receiving usual clinical care.
