Smoking Cessation Via Text Messaging: Feasibility Testing of Stop My Smoking USA — SMS USA  

Smoking Cessation Clinical Trial

Official title:
Smoking Cessation Via Text Messaging: Feasibility Testing of SMS USA

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators are developing a testing a text messaging-based smoking cessation program called SMS (Stop My Smoking) USA. It will be tailored for the unique needs and smoking habits of young adults. The investigators hypothesize that those in the SMS USA intervention will be significantly more likely to be quit at 6-months compared to the attention-matched control group.

Clinical Trial Description

About one in four young adults are current smokers. Although over half report the desire to quit or cut down, quit rates in this age group have remained stagnant in the last ten years. Text messaging may represent a compelling intervention delivery method for smoking cessation for young adults because it is a medium they have widely adopted. Cell phone interventions also are unique because of their 'always on' capability - interventions are never far from the young adult's reach and they are received automatically instead of requiring the participant to initiate contact in order to receive the information. Dr. Ybarra, along with Drs. Holtrop and Graham, have developed SMS Turkey, an innovative behavioral intervention that uses text messaging to deliver CBT-based smoking cessation information to participants daily. Successful use of text messaging to deliver smoking cessation programs has been reported by Rodgers and colleagues in New Zealand and a replication study they are leading in the UK. These data provide optimism for the feasibility of text messaging-based smoking cessation programs in the United States. Using qualitative methods to inform design and content, and quantitative methods to assess the feasibility of the program, we propose to design and test SMS (Stop My Smoking) USA, a cell-phone based smoking cessation program for young adults ages 18-25. This innovative smoking cessation program uses technology widely adopted by young adults, an under-targeted population, to deliver a proactive, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based intervention. Our multidisciplinary team of researchers brings together expertise in Internet health and the design of tailored smoking cessation interventions. ;
