A Patient-Oriented Research Mentoring Program in Tobacco Dependence and Implementation Science Research

Running, not enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: HIV, Smoking, Tobacco Use, Nicotine Dependence

In brief

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of "nudges" to clinicians, patients, or both in increasing referral to, and engagement with, tobacco use treatment services (TUTS) for HIV patients versus usual care. This will be a four-arm pragmatic cluster randomized clinical trial. The investigators hypothesize that each of the implementation strategy arms will significantly increase TUTS referral and engagement compared to usual care and that the combination of nudges to clinicians and to patients will be the most effective.
