An observational study in Lung Cancer, Lung Cancer Screening and Smoking Cessation, sponsored by Scientific Institute San Raffaele. Recruiting at 1 site in Italy. Open to participants aged 50 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-11-29.
Sponsored by Scientific Institute San Raffaele · Observational
This is a prospective, observational, monocentric study. This study wants to test if among a smoking cessation intervention, behavioural counselling by video session is related to higher compliance and higher success rate than standard smoking cessation activity (face to face counselling).
This intervention was structured on Sitab guidelines (Società Italiana Tabaccologia - Italian Tobacco Society), who suggest to use long-term counseling for at least six months and preferably for 12, in order to strengthen abstinence and cover the period with the highest risk of relapse. Clinicians who follow these guidelines must provide a path greater than or equal to 4 meetings and they will have a greater degree of success if the time that will be devoted to meetings is consistent. The group that will carry out the psychological counselling in the presence will have 6 meetings (spread over 6 months) with a psychologist at the anti-smoking center of the San Raffaele Hospital and a final phone call 12 months after the first meeting to verify the maintenance of abstinence. The meetings at the anti-smoking center are aimed at monitoring the progress of the smoking cessation process, thanks also to tests (fagestrom test, motivational questionnaire, smoker's diary) and prevent any drop outs. The group that will be followed in remote mode will carry out the same number of interviews as the group described above and a 12-months call will also be made to them to check the state of abstinence. The difference between the two groups is in the way interviews were conducted.
Both face-to-face interviews and those through videocall allow smokers, in addition to learning strategies to limit the consumption of the substance, to share the path towards de-exhaustion with a professional and be supported by it.
The subdivision into the two groups will be carried out through voluntary choice of participants.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

Create an innovative smoking cessation program with personalized and tailored primary prevention support within screening programs.
The study aims to evaluate the difference in success between standard anti-smoking psychological counselling, conducted through face-to-face interviews, and anti-smoking psychological counselling conducted through remote video interviews.
