Tobacco Intensive Motivational and Estimate Risk

Spain230 participantsStarted 2018-07-12

Plain-language summary

Randomized, open label, prospective study with a 12-month follow-up period. The primary objective evaluates the effectiveness of an intensive anti-smoking programme that informs patients of their individual risk of lung damages and the possibilities of prevention. The main measurement will be having given up smoking in month 12, measurement of self-reported abstinence on the 7 previous days and confirmed by a CO-oximeter test\< 10 ppm, between the intervention and control group. A total of 9 urban and rural mental health centres will participate in the study. The intervention group will undergo spirometry and presence and the degree of respiratory obstruction will be assessed. Participants will be given individual information to generate a motivational message about the possibilities of prevention and the information will be maintained for three months by sending text messages (SMS) to their mobile phones. The efficacy of the method and the pulmonary damage variables will be evaluated: smoking cessation at the end of follow-up will be confirmed by cooximetry, and the COPD diagnosis and the severity of the staging for disease will be assessed

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
