E-Visit for COPD and Smoking Cessation

The goal of this work is to develop, refine, and pilot test an electronic visit (e-visit) to: 1) deliver smoking cessation treatment to adults at risk for COPD and 2) to improve rates of COPD early detection and accurate diagnosis. The investigators will conduct a pilot RCT of the COPD/smoking cessation e-visit as compared to treatment as usual (TAU), with primary objective to provide effect size estimates for a larger RCT.

Behavioral

electronic visits (e-visits) for smoking cessation and early detection of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Treatment as Usual

Other

Information about the state quitline and about the importance of quitting smoking and a recommendation to contact one's PCP to schedule a medical visit to discuss quitting smoking

Primary outcomes

  1. Evidence-based Cessation Treatment Utilization

    Time frame: Baseline through Month 3

    participants in both groups will be queried for use of a smoking cessation medication since the last assessment

  2. Number of Participants at Month 1 and Month 3 With At Least 1 Quit Attempt

    Time frame: Baseline through Month 3

    quit attempts will be assessed at each follow-up using a timeline followback for the last 6-months at baseline and since prior follow-up for each subsequent assessment

Secondary outcomes

  1. E-visit Acceptability and Feasibility

    Time frame: Baseline through Month 3

    the percentage of patients who complete the initial and follow-up e-visits
