Conditions studied: Smoking

In brief

The study examined smokers from the initial COMPASS survey who live in one of three local Census tracks with large concentrations of minority populations and smoking rates, including Washington Park (98.8% African American, 60.5% smoker), Gage Park (76.7% Hispanic, 26.7% smoker), and Bridgeport (34.5% Asian, 27.0% Hispanic, 29.3% smoker), randomizing them to receipt of treatment as usual care advice (via a pamphlet form the National Cancer Institute) versus theoretically-driven and empirically-supported smoking cessation advice session delivered in-person at the UCM.
