Intervention to Increase Intention to Change Alcohol/Tobacco Use in Veterans With Chronic Disease
NCT07039175 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Many Veterans who have chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease or diabetes smoke or drink too much alcohol, which can worsen the condition. Veterans are asked yearly about drinking/smoking and providers provide a brief advice discussion focused on behavior change. However, many Veterans continue to drink or smoke, and are often not interested in higher-intensity, change-based referrals. The investigators recently piloted MINDSET, an intervention that fills this gap. MINDSET is a proactive, population-based intervention that uses a mailed packet with tailored education about how drinking/smoking relate to the Veteran's condition (heart conditions and/or diabetes), followed by a brief motivational call. The investigators will test MINDSET's effectiveness versus usual primary care on outcomes including intention to change and substance use and evaluate the relationships between these and other variables over time.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07039175
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07039175 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 3, 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 270 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is VA Office of Research and Development, which has 1,863 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Tobacco Smoking appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Usual Care 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: NCT07039175 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.
