Expert System and Family Assisted Interventions for Chinese Smokers
NCT00714467 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
In this study, we choose to specifically recruit Chinese, the largest ethnic group of the Asian and Pacific Islander community,2 as an initial step to increase our understanding of the role of family or supportive others in the process of smoking cessation among Asian Americans. We propose the following specific aims for the study: 1. Examine the effectiveness of proactive recruitment of Chinese smokers into a smoking cessation treatment program through their family or friends. 2. Test the efficacy of a family assisted intervention using the stages of change approach in promoting smoking cessation in the context of an expert system intervention. 3. Explore the role of supportive and non-supportive behaviors in relation to both short-term and long-term smoking cessation outcomes in the presence of the expert system intervention.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00714467
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00714467 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, 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 1,280 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of California, San Francis, which has 1,574 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 Smoking Cessation appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Expert System Only 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: NCT00714467 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. 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.
