Interventions

  • Cognitive-Motivational Feedback — BEHAVIORAL
    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.
  • Staff Tobacco Quit Line Referral Implementation Support — BEHAVIORAL
    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.
  • Consumer Incentives for Immediate Referral to a Tobacco Quit Line — BEHAVIORAL
    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.

Study Details

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.

Arms

  • Experimental: Enhanced Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line (WTQL) Referral Implementation Support
    Both participating sites in this pilot study will be in this experimental enhanced implementation support arm to help us iteratively enhance the feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability of implementation strategies to support WTQL referral in these sites. Salvation Army personnel at participating sites will receive implementation training and ongoing support to help enhance the fit of WTQL referral in their workflows, culture, and climate, and to enhance staff readiness to connect the consumers they serve with the WTQL. No consumer incentives for connecting with the Quit Line immediately by phone will be offered in this arm so it can serve as active comparator condition for the incentivized arm described below.
  • Experimental: Incentivized Immediate Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line (WTQL) Referral
    In this experimental condition, Salvation Army personnel will implement an incentive strategy designed to encourage Salvation Army consumers to accept immediate referral to the WTQL. The incentive strategy will be adapted by Salvation Army personnel to fit in the local context, and staff will receive training and ongoing support in implementation of the incentive strategy. The modest incentives will be added in a staggered manner across the 2 Salvation Army sites participating in this pilot trial, after at least 3 months of implementing WTQL referral without consumer incentives for immediate calls.
