Mi QUIT CARE (Mile Square QUIT Community-Access-Referral-Expansion) (NCT04827420)

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: University of Illinois at Chicago

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The over-arching research question is: Does message (Advise) and referral approach (Refer) influence a patient's willingness to "opt-in" to receive a call from an Illinois Tobacco Quitline (ITQL) smoking cessation coach in patients at MSHC. Primary UH3 study aim: Compare the effect of the portal-delivered Choice message (Arm 1) to the Information-only message (Arm 3) on linkage to the Illinois Tobacco Quitline (i.e., spoke to a Quitline coach). Secondary UH3 aims are to: Examine the reach of the patient portal for delivering "Advise" and "Refer" at 4 weeks. Reach is defined as a patient opening the portal-delivered provider message across all three Arms. Compare the effect of the Quit message (Quit, Arm 2) to Information-only (Arm 3) on linkage to ITQL. Compare the effect of the Facilitated-referral messages (opt-in link in the message: Arm 1 \& 2) vs. Self-referral (Information-only, Arm 3) on linkage to the ITQL (speaking to an ITQL coach) at four weeks. Compare the effect of the portal-message content of the Choice message (Arm 1) vs. the Quit message (Arm 2) on linkage acceptance (opting in to be called by the ITQL) at 4 weeks. Compare the effectiveness of re-engagement message 1 to message 2 for linkage to the ITQL among patients who opted-in to an ITQL call but who were not reached after 3 attempts. Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of using a patient portal to advise patients to change their smoking behavior and refer them to the ITQL. We will compare the costs associated with our project to the costs associated with advising and referring patients during clinical appointments.
