Brief Summary: The purpose of the study is to compare two methods for providing brief dental office-based interventions designed to help patients quit either cigarette smoking or smokeless tobacco use and to compare these two dental office-based interventions with usual care This trial will evaluate the effectiveness of a unique combination of dental office intervention plus referral to the telephone help line both of which have been demonstrated to be effective interventions for tobacco cessation The integration of two lines of research-dental office interventions and telephone help line effectiveness-led us to propose this clinical trial as a more efficient and disseminable model of both training and practice
Detailed Description: Although many dental practitioners now routinely incorporate the first two of the 5As Ask and Advise into their practice and previous research indicates that brief office-based interventions are effective in producing modest tobacco quit rates for dental patients dental practitioners continue to perceive a number of obstacles to routine provision of tobacco cessation services Many dental practitioners still believe that counseling patients to quit an addictive behavior is beyond the scope of their training or comfort

Recent studies have shown that proactive phone counseling from State-sponsored telephone tobacco help lines has a positive effect on tobacco cessation The use of these help lines offers a unique supplement to the dental professional that could reduce the burden on practitioner and enhance the likelihood of their patients quitting Referral to a specialist is within the common heuristic followed by dental and medical practitioners Therefore we believe referral to a telephone help line may be an innovative way of enabling dentists and dental hygienists to encourage and support their patients to quit tobacco

We will test two levels of intervention as compared to usual care in a randomized clinical trial in which 60 dental practices in Mississippi are randomized to one of three conditions In one condition 5As the dental team will provide a brief office-based intervention that is modeled on the 5As advocated by the Clinical Practice Guideline In the second condition 3As THL the dental team will provide the first three As Ask Advise Assess and then refer patients to the State-supported telephone help line for provision of the cessation counseling and follow-up support In the third condition Usual Care volunteering practices will ask their patients only to complete our study surveys
