Brief Summary:
Using a single-arm trial design, this study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of evaluating QuitAdvisorDDS, a clinical decision support software application designed to facilitate implementation of evidence-based tobacco treatment interventions into the dental setting. The study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of evaluating the impact of the QuitAdvisorDDS tool on patient outcomes related to tobacco use and cessation attempts as well as provider knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding tobacco treatment. Practitioners (dentists and hygienists) will complete surveys at baseline and follow-up, while patients will complete surveys at baseline and 1-month follow-up. An embedded substudy will also evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of collecting biospecimens (saliva) to serve as biochemical verification of smoking status.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Primary Patient Acceptability A: Rate of Patient Wanting Provider to Use QA-DDS [ Time Frame: Immediately Post-Consultation up to 1 week ]
    80% of participating patients must indicate that they would want their dental practitioner to continue to use QA-DDS.

  2. Primary Patient Acceptability B: Rate of Patient Wanting to Use QA-DDS Patient Portal [ Time Frame: 1-Month Follow-Up ]
    80% of participating patients must indicate that they would want to continue to use the QA-DDS Patient Portal.

  3. Primary Patient Feasibility A: Rate of Patient Completion of 1-Month Follow-Up Survey [ Time Frame: 1-Month Follow-Up ]
    80% of the enrolled dental care patients must complete the 1-month follow-up survey with the 7-day point prevalence measure of self-reported smoking status.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Secondary Patient Acceptability A: Average QA-DDS Satisfaction Ratings Among Patients on 0-10 Scale [ Time Frame: Immediately Post-Consultation up to 1 week ]
    Average QA-DDS satisfaction ratings among enrolled dental patients must be 7 or greater on a 0-10 scale.

  2. Secondary Patient Feasibility A: Rate of Patient Accrual by Study Practices [ Time Frame: 4-Month Follow-Up ]
    75% of the study practices must recruit 10 eligible dental patients within a 4-month recruitment phase


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Tertiary Patient Acceptability A1: Number of Patients Who Visit QA-DDS Patient Portal [ Time Frame: 1-Month Follow-Up ]
    To evaluate the acceptability of the QA-DDS Patient Portal among enrolled dental patients, the percentage of enrolled patients who make at least one visit to the Patient Portal will be monitored

  2. Tertiary Patient Acceptability A2: Number of Visits to QA-DDS Patient Portal Per Patient [ Time Frame: 1-Month Follow-Up ]
    To evaluate the acceptability of the QA-DDS Patient Portal among enrolled dental patients, the number of visits to the Patient Portal per patient will be monitored

  3. Tertiary Patient Acceptability B: Rate of QA-DDS Text Messaging Support Service Use as Measured by Number of Patient Subscriptions [ Time Frame: 1-Month Follow-Up ]
    To evaluate the acceptability of the QA-DDS Text Messaging Support Service, the percentage of enrolled patients who subscribe to the Text Messaging Support Service will be monitored.

  4. Tertiary Patient Feasibility A: Rate of Missing Data for Tobacco Use Among Patients [ Time Frame: 1-Month Follow-Up ]
    Self-reported measures of tobacco use and history at the follow-up assessment must have less than 10% missing data among responding dental patients.
