Study type | Interventional |
The investigators are asking professional firefighters across North Carolina to take part in focus groups to discuss the specific needs of firefighters in smokeless tobacco cessation. About 40 firefighters will take part in the focus groups. The purpose of the focus groups is to learn how firefighting and shift work impact smokeless tobacco use and risk perceptions related to chew or dip. Using their feedback, the study team will then develop a cessation program specifically geared towards firefighters and first responders. The cessation program will be a mobile text / chat intervention specifically tailored to needs of firefighters and first responders who wish to stop using smokeless tobacco. About 50 firefighters and first responders will take part in this program, while being randomized into either the intervention group or the control group.
