PROS Clinical Effort Against Secondhand Smoke Exposure (CEASE)

AIMS


Clinical Effort Against Secondhand Smoke Exposure (CEASE) is a pilot study essential to developing a future clinical trial of the effectiveness of the intervention for increasing clinicians' delivery of evidence-based parental smoking cessation assistance in pediatric primary care settings.

Our specific aims are to:

  1. To test the effectiveness of the intervention for increasing clinicians' delivery of evidence-based parental smoking cessation assistance.

  2. To test the effectiveness of the intervention on parental smoking behaviors.

  3. To test the level of systematic practice implementation of the intervention using existing validated measures in an Implementation Process Survey (IPS); and in exploratory fashion evaluate additional key implementation step measures, mapped from the 5 A's (Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, and Arrange), for how well they predict tobacco control service delivery in child healthcare settings. We also aim to use process results from the IPS (previously validated and exploratory measures) to improve the adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the intervention in this trial.


Core support for the PROS network is provided by a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration Maternal and Child Health Bureau
