Description

Summary

This is a multi-arm, randomized controlled, pilot study which will recruit cancer patients who have been seen by a UCSF Cancer Center-affiliated clinical department to evaluate the efficacy of "CareConnect". This is the first study to assess the efficacy CareConnect, a combination of the Ask-Advise-Connect (AAC) with an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) delivering cancer-targeted educational messages to support referral to smoking cessation resources for patients with cancer.

Official Title

Connect Cancer Patients to Tobacco Cessation Care by Automated Interactive Outreach

Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To evaluate CareConnect's efficacy on referring patients to tobacco cessation resources.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To evaluate patients' acceptance of referrals.

II. To evaluate the acceptability of CareConnect.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. In-depth semi-structured qualitative interviews of 20 selectively chosen participants who completed the 3-month follow-up call (10 from each group).

II. Smoking cessation with verification.

OUTLINE:

Eligible participants, identified through the Cancer Center Tobacco Registry will be randomized to either the Intervention or Control arm on a 1:1 ratio. Participants who complete the first call of CareConnect or AutoReach will be considered enrolled. Participants will complete a baseline assessment, a 3-month assessment, and have option to provide a saliva sample.

For those who are selected to participate in an in-depth interview, this will take place within 1 month after the 3-month assessment. Data from the participants medical record may be accessed at 6 months post follow-up.
