Smoking Cessation for Young Adult Pacific Islanders: Motivating Pacifika

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The current study aimed to test a culturally tailored program designed to help Pacific Islanders (PIs) between the ages of 18 and 30 quit smoking cigarettes by using a randomized controlled trial design with one intervention group and one control group.

Clinical Trial Description

This randomized control trial (RCT) consisted of a baseline assessment (Wave 0) and three follow-up assessments (Waves 1-3). Follow-up assessments were conducted at 2 months, 5 months, and 8 months after the baseline assessment. The objective of the study was to test a culturally-tailored online program designed to help PI young adults quit smoking cigarettes. The online program contained (1) personalized, automated text messages, (2) interactive, online educational modules, and (3) an online forum.

Hypotheses for this study include:

1. Participants in the intervention program tailored to PIs would have significantly higher rates of abstinence, lower rates of relapse, and lower smoking frequency and intensity at each follow-up time point than those in the standard intervention program.

2. Participants with impaired affective decision capacity (low scores on Iowa Gambling Task (IGT)) would benefit more from the tailored intervention program than participants with normal affective decision capacity (high IGT scores).

3. Effects from the tailored intervention program would be more pronounced among participants with particular dispositional phenotypes (depression, hostility, impulsivity) and baseline severity of tobacco addiction (nicotine dependence).

4. High-intensity users of the tailored intervention program would be more successful than low intensity users in reducing the frequency and intensity of cigarettes smoked.

5. The tailored intervention program would have greater success at engaging and retaining participants than the standard intervention program. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
