Improving tobacco cessation support for BIPOC communities to reduce heart disease
A Pragmatic Trial of Chronic Disease Approaches To Ameliorate Tobacco Related Cardiovascular Disease Health Disparities
['FUNDING_OTHER'] · UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA · NIH-10906151
This study is looking for ways to better help Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) quit smoking, by offering personalized support from trained counselors, and it’s for adults in these communities who want to stop using tobacco and improve their heart health.

What this research studies
This research investigates how to enhance support for tobacco cessation among Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, who face higher rates of cardiovascular disease due to tobacco use. The study will implement a new intervention that combines standard care with culturally tailored outreach calls from trained counselors to help connect patients with cessation resources. By comparing this approach to the standard method of advising patients to quit smoking, the research aims to improve smoking cessation rates and health equity. The study will involve 2000 BIPOC adults and assess the effectiveness of these interventions over 18 months.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are BIPOC adults who smoke and are seeking support to quit.
Not a fit: Patients who do not smoke or are not part of BIPOC communities may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly increase smoking cessation rates among BIPOC patients, leading to improved cardiovascular health and reduced health disparities.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that culturally tailored interventions can effectively improve health outcomes in underserved populations, suggesting potential success for this approach.
