Pilot Testing an Intervention to Increase Implementation of Evidence-based Guidelines to Achieve Smoking Cessation in Smoking Parents of Inner-city Children With Asthma

The overall goal of this study is to adapt and preliminarily validate an intervention based
on evidence based approaches to assist smoking parents and other family members of
inner-city children ages 4 to 12 with asthma to stop smoking.This study aims (1) to adapt
existing guideline-based materials used in adult medicine to create a system- and
provider-level intervention for pediatrics and (2) to evaluate feasibility and acceptability
of (a) procedures to recruit inner-city, ethnic minority parents and (b) intervention
procedures, and to estimate intervention effects.

Investigators will adapt guideline-based interventions used in adult medicine. The
intervention consists of two system-level interventions (chart reminders to prompt providers
to ask about in-home smoking and a State Quit-line referral system), and a provider-level
intervention (training in the PHS Guidelines, in motivational interviewing, and on how to
use the system-level intervention). Investigators will implement the study in the Bellevue
Pediatric Asthma Clinic and the pediatric clinic at Lincoln Hospital using a two group (pre
intervention control group / post-intervention treatment group) pilot study to test the
feasibility and preliminary effects of a multi-level (i.e., system and provider)
intervention. The primary outcome is provider adherence to tobacco use treatment guidelines,
which will be assessed by conducting parent exit interviews with 200 smoking parents (100
pre-intervention [control group] and 100 post-intervention [treatment group]). Preliminary
intervention outcomes will be collected through the parent exit interviews (i.e., baseline)
and 2-month post-baseline interviews with the control and treatment parents. Providers will
also be interviewed regarding their satisfaction with the intervention.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Parents of a child between the ages of 4 and 12 with uncontrolled asthma, brought to
one of the clinics for an asthma-related visit

- uncontrolled asthma as meeting the criteria for "not well-controlled" or "very poorly
controlled" asthma: (a) score of 19 or lower on the validated Asthma Control Test
(ACT)45 OR (b) any of the following in the prior 12 months: (1) 2+ courses of oral
steroids; (ii) 2+ Emergency Department (ED) visits for asthma; and (iii) 1+
hospitalization for asthma.

- The parents must speak English or Spanish, and have the capacity to provide consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Beyond these eligibility criteria, no exclusions will be made based on sex,
ethnicity, or race of the child or parent.
