Scientific titleAssessing and reducing risk of Crohn's disease in smokers

Study objectivesCurrent hypothesis as of 28/04/2008:
The trial objective is to describe the impact upon motivation to stop smoking using genotype to assess risk of developing Crohn's disease (CD).

The primary hypothesis is that participants are more likely to make smoking cessation attempt following the communication of their risk of developing CD that incorporates genotype analysis in addition to family history and smoking status, compared with a communication of risk of CD that does not incorporate genotype analysis.

Previous hypothesis:
The trial objective is to describe the impact upon motivation to stop smoking using genotype to assess risk of developing Crohn's disease.

The primary hypothesis: a higher proportion of participants will engage in one or more quit-related behaviours over the six months since the intervention.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval receive from the Hertfordshire Research Ethics Committee on the 26th June 2006 (ref: 06/Q0201/19). Most recent Substantial Amendment (5.0): 9th October 2007.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCrohn's disease
InterventionThe trial objective is to describe the impact upon motivation to stop smoking of using genotype to assess risk of developing Crohn's disease. We will compare the impact of risk assessment based on family history and DNA testing versus assessment based on family history alone.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureCurrent primary outcome as of 28/04/2008:
Stopping smoking for 24 hours or longer in the six months following provision of risk information.

Previous primary outcome:
The proportion of participants in each group engaging in 1 or more quit-related behaviours, measured 6 months after participants are presented with their personalised risk information.
Secondary outcome measuresThe proportion of participants in each group who make smoking quit attempts of 6 or more days duration. This will be validated using questionnaires and biochemical indices.
