A Patient-Oriented Research Mentoring Program in Tobacco Dependence and Implementation Science Research
Sponsor: Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine
Summary
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of "nudges" to clinicians, patients, or both in increasing referral to, and engagement with, tobacco use treatment services (TUTS) for HIV patients versus usual care. This will be a four-arm pragmatic cluster randomized clinical trial. The investigators hypothesize that each of the implementation strategy arms will significantly increase TUTS referral and engagement compared to usual care and that the combination of nudges to clinicians and to patients will be the most effective.

Clinician Nudge
The clinician nudge will use the BPA functionality within the electronic medical record to deliver a message with a defaulted option to refer to the health system's tobacco treatment program. Changing the default to "no referral" will require an explanation using the options provided or by entering free text.
Patient Nudge
The patient nudge will deliver a message within 72 hours of a patient's next scheduled clinic visit. The message will be delivered through the Penn patient portal (MyPennMedicine) or by text with security measures for privacy.
