- description
- Participants will receive automated 'CareConnect' calls/SMS text at enrollment. The call protocol includes up to 2 calls on 2 consecutive days if no response to first call. If there is no response to call, a follow up SMS 3-4 days later. Each CareConnect contact will include (1) assessment, (2) motivational enhancement tailored to participants' tobacco use status and importance of quitting; and (3) multiple referral options (UCSF Fontana Tobacco Treatment Center (FTTC)/tobacco treatment specialist, Quitline, or smoke-freeTXT from smokefree.gov), offered after the motivational enhancement message. CareConnect will notify UCSF tobacco treatment specialist of participants acceptance of any of referral options. Referral options will be documented by specialists on the participants electronic health record (EHR). Participants who have completed the CareConnect call will be contacted by research staff for a 3-month survey to be completed online, by telephone, or postal mail.
