Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not respond to personalized planning strategies or who do not engage with the if-then framework may see no benefit.

What this trial studies

This is a single-center, randomized, single-blind interventional study in the tobacco treatment department at Clinique de la Mitterie. Participants who have just completed their first tobacco treatment consultation are randomized to receive either usual care plus a smoking-specific volitional help sheet or usual care alone. The volitional help sheet guides patients to create personalized if-then plans that link tempting situations to coping strategies. Outcomes will be assessed to see if the tool enhances adherence to treatment plans and supports behavior change in a clinical setting. The study focuses on French-speaking adults affiliated with a social security scheme eligible for informed consent.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could provide a low-cost, easy-to-implement adjunct to smoking treatment that may improve quit attempts and adherence.

How similar studies have gone: Prior work suggests VHS can support behavior change, but most evidence comes from non-clinical or non-French settings; this study tests effectiveness as an adjunct in routine care.
