Tobacco Cessation Tailored to Patients Living With HIV (PLWH) in Brazil
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The overall goal of this feasibility study is to make adaptations to these evidence-based approaches in collaboration with PLWH and health care providers working with this population, and develop, implement, and evaluate the feasibility and scalability of a theory-based, culturally relevant tobacco cessation intervention for PLWH receiving care through the public health system in a southern town in Brazil (Londrina). This proposal will focus on the intervention development, pretesting, and feasibility testing. The primary outcome will be a 7-day point prevalence abstinence (defined as no tobacco use in the past 7 days and verified through measurement of salivary cotinine and exhaled carbon monoxide levels) at 6-month follow-up. We will also conduct detailed treatment fidelity and scalability assessments (acceptability, feasibility, potential reach and adoption, alignment with the strategic context) to inform a full-scale efficacy trial.
