Tobacco Treatment for Employable Californians, Total IMPACT Study
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT02478697
Purpose
Previous findings indicate elevated risk for tobacco use among adults in California who are
unemployed and seeking work. In a pilot study, tobacco use was associated with a longer
duration of time out of work. This community-based participatory research study aims to
deliver and evaluate the impact of a web-based job seeker tailored tobacco cessation
intervention vs. a control group in the San Francisco Bay Area. This research investigates
whether an employment-centered tobacco treatment intervention is efficacious in supporting
abstinence and also associated with more timely engagement of employment.

participating America's Job Centers of California (AJCC) organization and currently smoking
1 or more cigarettes daily and at least 100+ cigarettes in one's lifetime with a carbon

consenting potential participants. Participants must be 18 years or older, English
literate, able to provide at least three collateral sources of contact for follow-up
assessments, and not immediately planning to relocate out of California (though researchers
would continue to follow-up with participants who move out of area, and have demonstrated
success with doing so in prior studies). Dual use of e-cigarettes will not be an exclusion
criterion.
Exclusion Criteria: Failure to meet inclusion criteria; non-job-seeking, persons employed
or underemployed, occasional/non-daily smokers, daily smokers with carbon monoxide readings
less than 10ppm, nonsmokers.
