Mi QUIT CARE (Mile Square QUIT Community-Access-Referral-Expansion)

Plain-language summary

The over-arching research question is: Does message (Advise) and referral approach (Refer) influence a patient's willingness to "opt-in" to receive a call from an Illinois Tobacco Quitline (ITQL) smoking cessation coach in patients at MSHC. Primary UH3 study aim: Compare the effect of the portal-delivered Choice message (Arm 1) to the Information-only message (Arm 3) on linkage to the Illinois Tobacco Quitline (i.e., spoke to a Quitline coach). Secondary UH3 aims are to: Examine the reach of the patient portal for delivering "Advise" and "Refer" at 4 weeks. Reach is defined as a patient opening the portal-delivered provider message across all three Arms. Compare the effect of the Quit message (Quit, Arm 2) to Information-only (Arm 3) on linkage to ITQL. Compare the effect of the Facilitated-referral messages (opt-in link in the message: Arm 1 \& 2) vs. Self-referral (Information-only, Arm 3) on linkage to the ITQL (speaking to an ITQL coach) at four weeks. Compare the effect of the portal-message content of the Choice message (Arm 1) vs. the Quit message (Arm 2) on linkage acceptance (opting in to be called by the ITQL) at 4 weeks. Compare the effectiveness of re-engagement message 1 to message 2 for linkage to the ITQL among patients who opted-in to an ITQL call but who were not reached after 3 attempts. Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of using a patient portal to advise patients to change their smoking behavior and refer them to the ITQL. We will compare the costs associated with our project to the costs associated with advising and referring patients during clinical appointments.

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.
