Brief summary
The goal of this study is to: partner with Respiratory Health Association and determine barriers and unmet smoking cessation treatment needs from leaders in behavioral health organizations, treatment programs and adults who smoke (AWS) in Chicago. This will be accomplished by establishing a community advisory board (CAB) and pilot testing a community-informed smoking cessation treatment within a community behavioral health organization to determine its feasibility after addressing implementation issues.
Detailed description
The purpose of the proposed study is to determine barriers and unmet smoking cessation treatment needs from leaders in behavioral health organizations, behavioral health treatment providers, and community members in Chicago and pilot test a community-informed, targeted rolling smoking cessation treatment within a community organization. The research team and the Respiratory Health Association (RHA) will work together to identify community sites that could derive possible benefit from adopting and implementing the targeted treatment. Aim 1: Develop a Community Advisory Board (CAB) comprised of providers, community members, and organization leadership. Aim 2: Use a mixed-methods approach to understand barriers, facilitators, and unmet treatment needs regarding smoking cessation treatment within the community. Aim 3: Pilot test the targeted smoking cessation treatment across a 3-month period at one community site through partnership with Respiratory Health Association. Hypothesis: The targeted intervention will demonstrate feasibility and acceptability.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALEnhanced Courage to Quit
Participants will engage in a version of the smoking cessation treatment "Courage to Quit" that has been optimized for implementation in community behavioral health clinics. The group will run over a period of 3 months, where participants will learn behavioral and cognitive skills for smoking cessation and/or reduction. Special attention will be given to the unique needs of the community, such as technology options or more flexible treatment models. The goal of this intervention is to prove that it is feasible to implement, and can create enhanced engagement and smoking outcomes for adults who smoke (AWS) and have fewer socioeconomic resources.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of participants who attend the enhanced intervention as assessed by enrollment and sign-in at each session | 3 months | Investigators will consider the initial pilot period of the enhanced intervention successful if the team enrolls (attend one session) and retains (attend four or more sessions) at least three participants in the pilot treatment across three months |
| Feasibility will be assessed by calculating the portion of people who enroll (attend at least on session) and complete 4+ sessions versus those who drop out before finishing 4 sessions as assessed by session sign-in | 3 months | Investigators will consider the intervention design to be feasible if fewer than 40% of enrollees drop out after their first attended session. |
| A modified version of the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ) will assess intervention acceptability. | End of treatment (e.g., 3 months or fourth session attended, whichever comes first) | This measure is a 10-point Likert scale (0=not at all, 10=very much) that assesses items such as intervention quality, effectiveness, and intrusiveness. For acceptability, the study team predicts at least 75% of participants will rate the intervention as acceptable via post-treatment survey (CSQ). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in number of cigarettes consumed per day | Through study completion, an average of 3 months | Participant self-report of past week average cigarettes smoked per day |
| Use of nicotine replacement therapy and FDA-approved cessation medication | Through study completion, an average of 3 months | Participant self-report of pharmacotherapy will be assessed at each session and end of treatment |
| Number of quit attempts | Through study completion, an average of 3 months | The number of times each participant has tried to quit, whether successful or not |
| Motivation to change smoking behavior via Contemplation Ladder | Through study completion, an average of 3 months | Participants' interest in quitting will be assessed on a 10-point quit interest scale (e.g., The Contemplation Ladder). Scores range from 0-10 with higher scores indicating greater motivation to change. |
