Summary

This trial aims to study how Salvation Army staff can assist tobacco users in accessing free treatments to reduce or quit smoking. The researchers will collect information on the perspectives and experiences of both tobacco users receiving services at

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who are involved with the Salvation Army, either receiving or providing social services, and can communicate in English, Spanish, or another language with interpreter support. It's not open to children under 18 or those unable to speak a common language.

What is being tested?

The study tests how effective different methods are at helping tobacco users quit. This includes cognitive-motivational feedback, staff training on referring people to a Tobacco Quit Line, and offering incentives for immediate referrals.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on behavioral interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects like you might see with drugs aren't expected. However, participants may experience stress or anxiety during the quitting process.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Incentivized Immediate Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line (WTQL) ReferralExperimental Treatment3 Interventions

In this experimental condition, Salvation Army personnel will implement an incentive strategy designed to encourage Salvation Army consumers to accept immediate referral to the WTQL. The incentive strategy will be adapted by Salvation Army personnel to fit in the local context, and staff will receive training and ongoing support in implementation of the incentive strategy. The modest incentives will be added in a staggered manner across the 2 Salvation Army sites participating in this pilot trial, after at least 3 months of implementing WTQL referral without consumer incentives for immediate calls.

Group II: Enhanced Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line (WTQL) Referral Implementation SupportExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Both participating sites in this pilot study will be in this experimental enhanced implementation support arm to help us iteratively enhance the feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability of implementation strategies to support WTQL referral in these sites. Salvation Army personnel at participating sites will receive implementation training and ongoing support to help enhance the fit of WTQL referral in their workflows, culture, and climate, and to enhance staff readiness to connect the consumers they serve with the WTQL. No consumer incentives for connecting with the Quit Line immediately by phone will be offered in this arm so it can serve as active comparator condition for the incentivized arm described below.
