Treatments tested in this trial

  • HCP-CHW Integration into Prenatal Care for Smoking Cessation

This brief behavioral intervention will include watching a video and reviewing self-help materials.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Self-Report Tobacco Abstinence

The 7 Day Point Prevalence Abstinence (PPA) questionnaire will be administered to subjects to assess the following: Tobacco use within past seven days

Time frame
Change between baseline enrollment and 1 month postpartum visit, typically ten months

Secondary outcomes

1

Carbon Monoxide Level

Breathalyzer test will be administered to subjects to determine CO level. Subjects will then be classified per CO level as: Nonsmoker = 0 to 3 Borderline = 4 to 6 Smoker = 7 and above Smoker Low Addiction = 7 to 10 Smoker Moderate Addiction = 11 to 15 Smoker Heavily Addicted = 16 to 25 Smoker Very heavily Addicted = 26+

Time frame
Change between baseline and 1 month postpartum visit, typically ten months
2

Arm 1 Satisfaction with CHW visit

The acceptability of the intervention will be assessed using composite Likert scale measures of process outcomes such as 1) overall patient satisfaction, 2) increasing patient motivation and confidence, and 3) willingness to recommend the program to others. Likert scale interpretations for overall satisfaction: 1=Very Dissatisfied; 2=Dissatisfied; 3=Neutral; 4=Satisfied; 5=Very Satisfied. Likert scale interpretation for patient motivation and confidence: 1=Strongly Disagree (The intervention did not increase motivation/confidence at all); 2=Disagree; 3=Neutral; 4=Agree; 5=Strongly Agree (The intervention significantly increased motivation/confidence). Likert scale interpretation for Willingness to Recommend the Program to Others: 1=Not at all likely; 2=Unlikely; 3=Neutral; 4=Likely; 5=Very Likely.

Time frame
Baseline; during the intervention; through study completion, an average of 10 months.
