Motivational Interviewing Compared to Psychoeducation for Smoking Precontemplators With SMI
NCT01982617 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The investigators primary hypothesis was that recipients of the Motivational Interviewing intervention would be significantly more likely than those assigned to the Psychoeducation intervention to demonstrate increased readiness to quit smoking at the end of the intervention and to seek smoking cessation treatment in the one month period following the intervention. We also predicted that the Psychoeducation intervention would result in greater improvements in smoking knowledge.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01982617
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01982617 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 61 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Massachusetts General Hospital, which has 1,948 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 Nicotine Dependence appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Psychoeducation 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: NCT01982617 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Massachusetts. 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.
