Jail-Based Use of Smoking Cessation Treatment Study
NCT03799315 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Smoking rates remain above 60% for individuals involved in the criminal justice system and contribute to elevated mortality rates in this population. Addressing smoking disparities among justice-involved individuals is a critical public health issue in Minnesota, one of a few states with rising incarceration rates. People who are incarcerated represent the intersection of multiple high-priority populations (disproportionately African-American, Native American, low-income, homeless, on Medicaid, and suffering from mental illness and substance use disorders). This study examines the impact of a smoking cessation intervention for individuals discharged from jail to the community on smoking abstinence. Participants will be randomized to either 1) guideline-based, in-person smoking cessation counseling during incarceration, telephone counseling after incarceration, and nicotine replacement, or 2) enhanced treatment as usual. This study's findings will be used to develop a larger, multi-site study that is fully powered to measure longer-term health and smoking cessation outcomes.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03799315
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03799315 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 66 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute, which has 74 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 appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Counseling 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: NCT03799315 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Minnesota. 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.
