A Clinic-randomized Trial of a Clinical Decision Support System to Improve Dental Provider Delivery of Brief Tobacco Interventions and Quitline Referrals
The overarching goal of this project is to reduce smoking-associated morbidity and mortality
by increasing the number of patients who are referred for tobacco cessation counseling. Using
a stratified, group-randomized, controlled, 2-arm trial conducted in two settings, the
investigators will compare smoking-related clinical decision support (CDS) to usual care.

This project aims to reduce smoking-associated morbidity and mortality by increasing the
number of patients who are referred for tobacco cessation counseling. The study team will
evaluate the effectiveness of clinical decision support (CDS) to improve dental provider
delivery of brief tobacco interventions and referrals to tobacco quitlines for further
tobacco counseling. The CDS will generate personalized, evidence-based recommendations for
dentists and dental hygienists to actively engage their smoking patients in the course of
usual dental care. Subsequently, the study team will assess the tobacco cessation actions of
smokers using patient-centered outcomes.
