Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of two different informatics-enabled implementation strategies on increasing tobacco treatment and improving smoking cessation rates for cancer control and prevention. This will be done via a two-arm pragmatic cluster randomized trial (CRT) to test the effectiveness of nudges to change (ELEVATE-S) vs. quit-focused usual care (ELEVATE) in increasing tobacco treatment (use of medication, brief advice, or referral to external counseling) and smoking cessation.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALELEVATE

ELEVATE uses implementation strategies to support clinicians (support clinicians by revising professional roles to enable point of care tobacco treatment with a team are approach and support clinicians by providing clinical decision support tools).

BEHAVIORALELEVATE-S

ELEVATE-S uses implementation strategies to support clinicians (support clinicians by revising professional roles to enable point of care tobacco treatment with a team are approach and support clinicians by providing clinical decision support tools) and implementation strategies to support patients with chronic care model-informed self-management support (patient centered flexible goals and patient-generated health data).

Intervention model description

Randomization occurs at the clinic level. For pragmatic concerns, the investigators expect to recruit from multiple clinics and randomization will be stratified by department to minimize the clinic effect. Clinics will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to ELEVATE-S or ELEVATE. Patients within a clinic will be assigned to the same arm.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient receipt of tobacco use treatment, i.e. Tobacco use treatment (TUT) ReachUp to 6 months post-enrollmentThis will be quantified by the proportion of enrolled patients who receive tobacco use treatment (either medication or behavioral intervention (brief advice or referral to counseling)).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient receipt of tobacco use treatment - behavioral intervention.Up to 6 months post-enrollmentThis will be quantified by the proportion of enrolled patients who receive tobacco use treatment behavioral intervention (brief advice or referral to counseling).
Patient receipt of tobacco use treatment - medication.Up to 6 months post-enrollmentThis will be quantified by the proportion of enrolled patients who receive tobacco use treatment medication.
Patient smoking abstinenceUp to 6 months post-enrollmentThis will be quantified by the proportion of patients who smoke with EHR-documented smoking abstinence
