(CONNECT Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This phase IV clinical trial determines the impact of implementing a Quitline electronic (e)Referral system with an enhanced academic detailing implementation strategy on Quitline reach, smoking cessation assistance and self-reported quit rates among patients in community health centers. It also examines the cost-effectiveness of Quitline eReferrals both with and without enhanced academic detailing. If this implementation strategy is effective, this strategy could be used to increase smoking cessation treatment through the collaboration between state Quitlines and community health centers that serve large numbers of socioeconomically disadvantaged smokers.
Do I need to stop my current medications for this trial?
