Conditions
Summary
The goal of this pragmatic, multilevel Type III Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation trial is to increase the reach of existing evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for tobacco cessation and to mitigate the impact of adverse Social Drivers of Health (SDOH) among safety-net healthcare system patients who live in persistent poverty (PP) census tracts. Aim 1: Test the ability of patient-level Conversational Agents (CA) \& Patient Navigation (PN) dissemination strategies to increase the Reach (primary outcome) of evidence-based tobacco cessation treatment delivered via the Utah Tobacco and Nicotine Quit Services (Quit Services) among Community Health Center (CHC) patients who use tobacco and live in persistent poverty census tracts. Secondary analyses will examine the outcome of Reach of services for SDOH among these patients and will evaluate both 1) patient-level CA and PN dissemination strategies and 2) a clinic-level implementation strategy using a pre-post design. Aim 2: Explore contextual factors (e.g., clinic size, patient composition, rurality, patient demographics) related to the Reach, Adoption, Implementation, and potential Maintenance of strategies. Aim 3: Determine the cost-effectiveness of clinic and patient-level strategies based on Quit Services enrollment and service receipt for SDOH. This trial implements a clinic-level implementation strategy, Ask-Advise-Connect (AAC), to address tobacco cessation and needs around social drivers of health for patients in all participating clinics. Eligible patients who are not enrolled in Quit Services four weeks after the clinical encounter, will receive text messages from a chatbot offering information and connections to the Quit Services and patient navigation support from a Community Health Worker.

Interventions
Ask-Advise-Connect (AAC) is a health information technology (HIT) implementation strategy that consists of EHR-based point-of-care supports for the assessment of tobacco use and Social Drivers of Health (SDOH).
All patient level strategies will address only the content of increasing reach of the Utah Tobacco Quit Services.
All patient level strategies will address the content of increasing reach of the Utah Tobacco Quit Services and SDOH.

The number of proactive outreach opportunities for CA the patient receives. Patient will receive 3 opportunities for CA, over 12 months following a patient's initial clinic visit, that includes a simple one-touch response to directly connect to the Quit Services or the CHW.
