Clinical Trial Summary

The overall objective of this project is to develop and pilot-test a web-based smoking cessation program that specifically addresses heavy drinking (HD). The project builds upon a well-established, free evidence-based smoking cessation website, BecomeAnEX.org ("EX"), which is supported by Truth Initiative, a national non-profit public health organization, and its research arm, the Schroeder Institute. Investigators will develop an alternative version of BecomenAnEX that will include detailed content on alcohol's relation to smoking relapse, health effects of alcohol (including moderate drinking recommendations) along with related worksheets, feedback materials, and links to resources for drinking. Once a version of BecomeAnEX is developed that specifically addresses HD (called EX-HD), the investigators will conduct a one-arm open pilot of the site with 30 HD smokers recruited from newly registered BecomeAnEX users. The study will gather participant feedback on the site as well as site use metrics (e.g., number of logins, number of pages viewed, use of interactive components) and will revise EX-HD in response to this feedback in preparation for Stage 1b work. Stage 1b will use the updated EX-HD version to run a small scale randomized clinical trial where 120 participants will be randomly assigned to the standard version of BecomeAnEX or to EX-HD.
