Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?The purpose of the current study is to pilot the efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of an evidence-based smoking cessation intervention adapted for cancer patients and delivered via video. Investigators aim to assess if this intervention is considered acceptable by participants, feasible to implement, and effective at increasing knowledge about smoking cessation before conducting a fully powered clinical trial.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?The trial protocol does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
Is the VIDeOS Smoking Cessation Program a promising treatment for quitting smoking?Yes, the VIDeOS Smoking Cessation Program is promising because video interventions can effectively help people quit smoking by using visual messages tailored to individual needs. This approach can reach a wide audience and motivate smokers to quit.1491014
What safety data exists for the Video Intervention for Smoking Cessation (VIDeOS)?The provided research does not specifically address safety data for the Video Intervention for Smoking Cessation (VIDeOS) or its variants. The studies focus on the effectiveness and characteristics of smoking cessation programs delivered via television and the internet, including their impact on different demographics. However, they do not provide specific safety evaluations or data related to the interventions.234811
What data supports the idea that Video Intervention for Smoking Cessation is an effective treatment?The available research shows that real-time video counseling for smoking cessation is effective, especially for people in rural and remote areas. It was found to be more effective in helping people quit smoking compared to just using telephone counseling or written materials. This suggests that video interventions can be a strong option for those who might not have easy access to other resources. In comparison, other treatments like hypnosis or acupuncture have little evidence of effectiveness, and while nicotine gum and patches are helpful, video counseling offers a unique and accessible approach.5671213

Factors associated with nonparticipation among registrants for a self-help, community-based smoking cessation intervention. [2019]Smokers (n = 96) who registered for but did not participate in a televised smoking cessation intervention based on the American Lung Association's self-help manual, Freedom From Smoking in 20 Days, were compared with participants (n = 1,035). Nonparticipants were more likely to be male, employed, and have a higher annual household income. At preintervention, nonparticipants expressed weaker desire to quit smoking, less confidence in their ability to quit, and less determination to quit. At post-program, 92% of nonparticipants smoked, but 93% planned to quit someday, with 82% planning to quit within the next 12 months. Additionally, nonparticipants were asked about their impressions of the manual, reasons for not reading the manual, and reasons for not watching the televised segments. Nonparticipants expressed positive initial impressions of the manual and mentioned time demands and conflicts with other commitments most often as reasons for not reading the manual and not watching the televised segments. Besides motivating smokers to try to quit, smoking cessation programs should help smokers to prepare to act. Also, nonparticipants are good candidates for recycling into subsequent programs.
Characteristics of participants in a televised smoking cessation intervention. [2021]Participants in various components of a televised self-help smoking cessation program, based on the American Lung Association's Freedom From Smoking in 20 Days, are compared with a sample of the population of smokers to whom the intervention was addressed. Over 325,000 smokers in the target population were exposed to the program at some level. Most watched televised segments. Approximately 75,000 manuals were distributed and about 55,000 were used. Comparisons between participants and the targeted smoking population indicate that the intervention attracted those in the smoking population who are expected to be the majority of smokers by the Year 2000-blacks, females, and those with incomes under $13,000 per year. Participants with these characteristics were most likely to view the televised segments. Heavy smokers, females, and those with the most education were most likely to refer to the manual at least twice a week during the intervention. Older, nonblack participants and those with incomes of $13,000 or more per year were most likely to attend group support sessions outside the home. Overall, the patterns of association indicate that although a televised smoking cessation program can attract individuals similar to those projected to be smokers in 2000, participation in various components of the intervention will vary by demographic characteristics.
Effects of a televised smoking cessation intervention among low-income and minority smokers. [2019]In November 1985, a television smoking cessation program was broadcast for 20 days on the noon and 9 p.m. news. Smokers in West Garfield Park, an inner-city impoverished area of Chicago, were randomly assigned either to a comprehensive intervention or to a no-intervention control condition. Although 100,000 self-help manuals had been distributed throughout Chicago, none of the controls in this low-income area had obtained a manual. The intervention consisted of providing the smokers a self-help manual, the televised broadcast, weekly support meetings, and supportive phone calls. At a 4-month follow-up, 20% of treatment participants were abstinent compared to 9% of controls. The results indicated that intensive supplementary opportunities enhanced participation by low-income smokers in a media smoking cessation program.
Smoking and television: review of extant literature. [2019]Smoking cessation programming is appearing with increasing frequency over the medium of television. This report reviews those television quit smoking programs that have been described in the literature. Programming features (e.g., program timing, content, utilization, and cost-effectiveness) are examined in addition to the assessment of the impact on viewers' smoking behavior. Overall, published reports have described a host of intriguing ways the TV medium can be used to encourage widespread smoking cessation. To date, however, there has been relatively less innovation and thoroughness in terms of assessing program impact. Implications are discussed for the burgeoning realm of health promotion programming via the electronic media.
Smoking cessation products and programs. [2007]Behavioral treatment techniques have facilitated smoking cessation, with intensive multicomponent interventions sometimes producing long-term abstinence rates approaching 50%. There is little evidence that either hypnosis or acupuncture are effective. Both nicotine gum and nicotine patch significantly improve treatment outcomes, although patch is easier for patients to use correctly. Self-help programs may be of benefit, however, smoking cessation products other than nicotine replacement show little evidence of effectiveness. Health professionals should be informed consumers and should be skeptical in evaluating claims for commercial programs or products. Additional information and materials are available from a number of sources including the National Cancer Institute, the U.S. Office on Smoking and Health, and the voluntary health organizations.
Long-term engagement in smoking cessation counseling among rural smokers. [2021]Effective smoking cessation treatment requires active patient engagement. This may be particularly important for rural smokers who have less access to smoking cessation resources than others. This study describes long-term engagement in counseling for smoking cessation and factors associated with engagement.
A computerized aid to support smoking cessation treatment for hospital patients. [2021]Hospital-based interventions promote smoking cessation after discharge. Strategies to deliver these interventions are needed, especially now that providing smoking cessation advice or treatment, or both, to inpatient smokers is a publicly reported quality-of-care measure for US hospitals.
Creating and testing a deaf-friendly, stop-smoking web site intervention. [2022]Deaf adults' access to smoking cessation programs is limited due to cultural, linguistic, and geographic barriers. Web-based stop-smoking interventions have demonstrated cessation rates comparable to other interventions. The Internet is widely used by Deaf adults, but difficulties with online English text remain. We found no published accounts of Internet interventions promoting smoking cessation among Deaf individuals. The purpose of our project was to create and pilot test a prototype interactive Web site that provides users with information in American Sign Language related to smoking cessation. We utilized web cams to create real-time "video chat rooms" for virtual support groups and had an "ask the experts" feature. Deaf community members participated in all phases of development and testing, and a Deaf former smoker served as the moderator for the site. Evaluations were positive, with emphasis on interactive and visual aspects of the site.
Comparison of text and video computer-tailored interventions for smoking cessation: randomized controlled trial. [2022]A wide range of effective smoking cessation interventions have been developed to help smokers to quit. Smoking rates remain high, especially among people with a lower level of education. Multiple tailoring adapted to the individual's readiness to quit and the use of visual messaging may increase smoking cessation.
Efficacy of a DVD-based smoking cessation intervention for African Americans. [2022]Previous research suggests that African American smokers may have improved outcomes if interventions are culturally specific. However, few interventions sufficiently address the unique needs of this population in a format with large reach potential. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of a newly developed digital video disc (DVD)-based cessation intervention targeting African Americans.
Development and usability of a Spanish/English smoking cessation website: lessons learned. [2022]Smoking cessation Internet interventions have been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to the nicotine patch. The aim of this study was to develop a Spanish/English smoking cessation web app using input from low-income smokers, and to evaluate modifications to the online intervention in terms of its ability to engage smokers.
The short-term effectiveness of real-time video counselling on smoking cessation among residents in rural and remote areas: An interim analysis of a randomised trial. [2022]Real-time video counselling for smoking cessation uses readily accessible software (e.g. Skype). This study aimed to assess the short-term effectiveness of real-time video counselling compared to telephone counselling or written materials (minimal intervention control) on smoking cessation and quit attempts among rural and remote residents.
Comparative Effectiveness of Postdischarge Smoking Cessation Interventions for Hospital Patients: The Helping HAND 4 Randomized Clinical Trial. [2023]Smoking cessation interventions for hospitalized patients must continue after discharge to improve long-term tobacco abstinence. How health systems can best deliver postdischarge tobacco treatment is uncertain.
Outcomes of video training on smoking cessation counseling for nurses. [2023]Lack of smoking cessation education hinders nurses in providing adequate tobacco cessation counseling. Video training on smoking cessation counseling for nurses was developed and assessed for its short-term outcomes on knowledge and self-efficacy.
