CONNECT Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether an online referral system for quitting smoking, with extra support to doctors, will help patients in community health centers quit smoking.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult tobacco users (18+) who have visited eligible study clinics in Oregon during a 24-month period. Participants must be willing to recruit a clinic champion and manager, agree to randomization, and their clinic should use the OCHIN Epic EHR system for at least one year.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests an electronic Quitline referral system with enhanced academic detailing to see if it helps more people quit smoking. It compares how effective this strategy is against usual care in community health centers, also looking into its cost-effectiveness.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves informational interventions rather than medications or medical procedures, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience stress or discomfort related to quitting smoking.

Clinics receive standard online materials access to remote technological assistance as in Arm I. Clinics also receive group training of clinic staff prior to activation of the eReferral system and 12 months post-activation, follow-up booster sessions and monthly performance audit and feedback.
Group II: Arm I (Quitline eReferral)Active Control1 Intervention
Clinics are notified via email that the Quitline eReferral system is available with a link to an online publication that includes an overview of Quitline services, information on Quitline effectiveness, and a detailed eReferral workflow with corresponding EHR screenshots, including how to identify eligible patients, create an eReferral, and access Quitline follow-up data in the EHR. Clinics also gain access to technological assistance, as needed.

Why did patients apply to this trial?

I am a current smoker and trying to quit smoking and cancer runs in my family so I am taking it seriously and have completed several smoking studies in the past that were temporarily successful so I think I am a great candidate for this study.
