Clinical Trial Summary

The study will be a three-arm randomized controlled trial in a convenience sample of 150 smokers aged 18-25 years with a drinking habit who will be recruited from smoking hotspots in Mong Kok. Participants will be randomized into a standard treatment (ST), II, or control arm. Participants in the ST arm will receive a brief smoking cessation intervention based on the Asking about tobacco use, Advising smokers to quit, Assessing their willingness to quit, Assisting in quitting, and Arranging for follow-up and Relevance, Risks, Rewards, Roadblocks and Repetition models. Participants in the II arm will receive brief advice on alcohol use based on the FRAMES model in addition to the brief smoking cessation intervention. Booster interventions will be provided to both ST and II arms at 1-week, 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month follow-up. Participants in the control arm will receive leaflets on smoking cessation and alcohol abstinence. Data collection will be done at baseline and at 1-week, 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month follow-ups. Self-reported quitters at 6-month follow-up will be invited for biochemical validation.
