Participants included parents who used combusted tobacco in the past 7 days and attended a child\u2019s preventive health care visit.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Intervention<\/jats:title>In all practices, household members completed EHR previsit questionnaires about tobacco use. Parents in intervention practices were proactively offered eCEASE (automated delivery of nicotine replacement therapy [NRT], quitline and\/or SmokefreeTXT enrollment, and navigator support). Control practice parents received usual care.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>The primary outcome was biochemically confirmed 7-day abstinence from combusted tobacco use by parents at the 1-year follow-up. Secondary outcomes included NRT and quitline and\/or SmokefreeTXT use and recent quit attempts. Changes in cigarettes per day and smoking frequency (daily or nondaily) from baseline to 1-year follow-up were also examined.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Of 817 enrolled smoking parents (672 [82.3%] female), 323 of 408 (79.2%) in the intervention arm (6 practices) and 326 of 409 (79.7%) in the control arm (6 practices) were mothers; mean (SD) age was 36.17 (8.67) years. The follow-up survey was completed by 367 of 408 parents (90.0%) in the intervention arm and 368 of 409 (90.0%) in the control arm. Biochemically confirmed 7-day abstinence rates were 34 of 408 (8.3%) in the intervention arm vs 26 of 409 (6.4%) in the control arm (adjusted odds ratio, 1.34; 95% CI, 0.79-2.29). Among those who completed follow-up, 177 of 367 (48.2%) in the intervention arm vs 59 of 368 (16.0%) in the control arm reported using NRT; 93 of 367 (22.8%) and 8 of 368 (2.2%), respectively, reported using quitline and\/or SmokefreeTXT messaging; and 294 of 367 (80.1%) vs 258 of 368 (70.1%), respectively, reported a quit attempt in the last 3 months. Compared with control practices, intervention practices reported a greater reduction in the mean (SD) number of cigarettes smoked daily (\u22123.32 [5.39] vs \u22121.81 [5.84]) and a greater reduction in the mean (SD) percentage of daily smokers (\u221235.2% [2.6%] vs \u221225.8% [2.6%]).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>In this cluster-randomized clinical trial of an automated intervention to treat parental tobacco use in pediatric practices, the intervention did not significantly improve the primary outcome of quit rate at 1 year. Findings in this trial demonstrated increased treatment engagement and reductions in cigarette consumption, but additional strategies are needed to improve quit rates.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Trial
