Summary

This is a two-arm randomized controlled study with 60 participants. The study has two aims. The first aim is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a food assistance intervention to alleviate food insecurity during a smoking cessation attempt among low-income smokers with food insecurity. Smokers with recent food insecurity are recruited for a 12-week study that involves resources navigation for food assistance and tobacco cessation, with assessments at baseline and at 12 weeks. Participants are randomized to receive economic assistance for food in addition to resources navigation in the intervention arm, or randomized to receive resources navigation only in the control arm. The second aim is to estimate the preliminary impact of the intervention on food insecurity and tobacco cessation measures at 12 weeks.

Conditions

  • Food Insecurity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Food Assistance and Cessation Resources Navigation Plus Economic Assistance

The intervention arm involves an initial telephone call with a community health worker (CHW). The content of the call focuses on providing participants with referrals for available food assistance resources in the community and referrals for tobacco cessation services. There are two additional follow-up calls approximately 4 weeks apart, for a total of 3 CHW navigator calls over the 12-week study period. In addition, the intervention arm involves providing participants with economic assistance for food in the form of a reloadable debit card ($83 every 4 weeks for 12 weeks, for a maximum amount of $250).

BEHAVIORAL

Food Assistance and Cessation Resources Navigation

The comparison arm involves an initial telephone call with a community health worker (CHW). The content of the call focuses on providing participants with referrals for available food assistance resources in the community and referrals for tobacco cessation services. There are two additional follow-up calls approximately 4 weeks apart, for a total of 3 CHW navigator calls over the 12-week study period.
