Smokers' Health Project: Self-Determination and Maintaining Tobacco Abstinence
NCT00178685 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
These two studies will examine the role of autonomous motivation in maintained adherence. The first study will determine whether smokers are still abstinent from tobacco 32 months after starting in a previous project (Smoker's Health Study). The purpose of the second study is to determine which of three treatments for tobacco dependence provides the greatest amount of protection from relapsing to smoking after quitting. Specifically, the investigators will determine if extending the length of treatment time focusing on relapse prevention and arranging for support from important others prevents relapse compared to community care. Also, the investigators will determine if providing extended treatment time and support from important others plus providing medications to those that don't want to quit prevents long term relapse compared to just extending the length of treatment time and support from others. Additionally, a sub set of the population will be randomized to using hand held palm devices to recover real-time data assessment during the last 10 months of the project.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00178685
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00178685 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 4, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 837 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Rochester, which has 437 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Tobacco Use Disorder appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Self-determination Intervention for Tobacco Dependence is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00178685 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
