Study Title: Scale and Evaluate Smoking Cessation and COPD Screening E Visits to Rural Health Clinics
CTO #: 103972
NCT Number: NCT06236347
Phase: II
Protocol Type: Screening
Age Group: Adults
Disease Sites:
Study Objectives: This study involves a stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized clinical trial (N=144) to examine the effectiveness of the COPD screening and smoking cessation e-visits vs. TAU for smoking cessation across 11 rural (Rural-Urban Commuting Area codes 4-10) primary care practices in South Carolina. In Aim 2, we will evaluate e-visit implementation outcomes across rural South Carolina primary care settings at patient, provider, and organizational levels. Outcomes will include those related to: e-visit feasibility (i.e., time to complete e-visit, time for provider to review e-visit, % completed e-visits, qualitative feedback), COPD (early diagnosis rates as a function of treatment condition, emergency department visits for respiratory infection), smoking cessation outcomes (self-reported quit attempts/quit duration and biochemically verified cessation via carbon monoxide), and cessation medication utilization.
