Salvation Army Tobacco Quit Line Referral Implementation Trial

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how the Salvation Army staff can help people who use tobacco learn about and connect with no-cost treatments to help cut down or quit smoking. Researchers will gather information about the thoughts and experiences of people who smoke tobacco and receive services at the Salvation Army, as well as the experiences of the staff offering support to help treat tobacco use.

Conditions

• Tobacco Use
• Smoking
• Smoking Cessation

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive-Motivational Feedback

Salvation Army personnel will be trained to offer adult consumers who use tobacco cognitive-motivational feedback about tobacco use via a no-cost, web-based Qualtrics survey that assesses participant knowledge, beliefs, and priorities and provides feedback to promote knowledge of the costs and risks of smoking and knowledge of the costs and benefits of tobacco use treatment options, including Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line services. The survey is also designed to help participants weigh the importance of the pros and cons of continuing to use tobacco, and the pros and cons of trying to change their tobacco use.

BEHAVIORAL

Staff Tobacco Quit Line Referral Implementation Support

Salvation Army personnel will receive training and will be engaged in efforts to plan, evaluate, adapt, and sustain tobacco treatment referral as part of the social services they provide to adult Salvation Army service consumers who use tobacco. Implementation support will take the form of ongoing engagement of an outreach specialist with a team of Salvation Army personnel and consumers who lead Quit Line referral efforts in the Salvation Army.

BEHAVIORAL

Consumer Incentives for Immediate Referral to a Tobacco Quit Line

Salvation Army personnel will offer an incentive to adult consumers who use tobacco to encourage immediate acceptance of a live call with the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line. The incentive will be designed by Salvation Army personnel to fit the local context and to be sustainable over time, such as extra access to existing support or resources.
