Intervention Study to Increase Smoking Cessation Rates Among Public Housing Residents
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Tobacco Cessation
In brief
The purpose of this study is to determine whether public housing residents trained in Tobacco Cessation and Motivational Interviewing Techniques to become Tobacco Treatment Advocates(TTA) will be effective in increasing the quit rate of smokers in Boston Public Housing. The investigators hypothesize that smokers that receive multiple TTA visits will be more likely to (1) use smoking cessation resources and (2) quit compared to smokers who receive a single visit.
