Brief Summary  

According to Global Adult Tobacco Survey 2 (GATS 2) survey in India, prevalence of current tobacco use is found to be 28.6% among those aged 15 years and above and nearly 38.5% of smokers made an attempt to quit smoking using various methods of quitting in the past 12 months. But few are successful in the quitting. To support such attempts at quitting the efforts need to be expanded.

Brief or very brief interventions/counselling can be delivered in various modes, the most commonly used one being face-to-face counselling. This cannot be used to address large numbers, for which telephonic counselling is a better tool. The Cochrane review in 2013 has showed telephonic counselling to improve quitting by around 27%. There was a mixed result in terms of dose response i.e., number of calls needed to make the intervention more effective.

Telephone counselling may be a cost-effective way of providing individual counselling. Telephone contact can be timed such that it could maximize the level of support around a planned quit date, and counselling can be scheduled in response to the needs of the participant. There is no study from India which has independently assessed the effectiveness of telephonic counselling in improving the quit rate. This study is intended to test the same in settings of low and middle-income country like India and also generate evidence to scalability under relevant national programs.

OBJECTIVES OF STUDY:

Among patients seeking care at screening out-patient department (OPD) who are tobacco users at R L Jalappa Hospital and Research Centre (RLJH&RC), Kolar.

Primary objective:

To assess the effectiveness of monthly individualized very brief telephonic counselling in changing the behaviour to quit tobacco according to the trans-theoretical model.

Secondary objective(s):

1.      To determine the proportion of individuals who are dependent on tobacco by using Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) questionnaire.

2.    To assess the level of motivation to quit tobacco among those who are willing to quit by using Richmond test for motivation.
