Web Assisted Tobacco Intervention With Community Colleges

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Tobacco Dependence

In brief

This trial will test the effectiveness of an enhanced web-based smoking cessation intervention for student smokers at 2-year Community Colleges. Young adults continue to be understudied, so more studies of cessation interventions are needed to generate an acceptable level of strength of evidence regarding quit rates, particularly so for Community College students for whom little data on cessation are available. Students (research subjects) will be directed to one of two intervention websites with various levels of novel interactive and social network features, including a variety of better-practice features recommended by recent literature, and technologically advanced proactive features (e-mails, SMS texting, and social networking). Our study hypothesizes that students with access to an enhanced website will have higher rates of self-reported intention to quit, a higher number of quit attempts at 6-months compared to those in in a non-enhanced website. Overall, this study will evaluate evidence for a novel enhanced cessation intervention model and will add to our understanding of successful intervention with an understudied population of primarily young adult Community College smokers. The intervention components will be replicable and, if effective, the methodology is applicable across populations, and has the potential for broad public health impact through improved delivery of effective stop smoking interventions via the internet.
