Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Most individuals who smoke want to quit smoking. Most individuals who want to quit, quit on their own. The purpose of this study is to determine whether very brief suggestions provided online are comparatively more effective than others in increasing motivation to quit immediately after the suggestions are implemented and actual quit rates one month later.

There are no costs associated with participating in this study and participants will not be compensated for their participation.

The entire study takes place online on an automated website.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will be recruited online using search engine ads (e.g., Google), online association list serves, community websites designed to reach individuals interested in participating in research studies, and social media sites related to smoking cessation efforts.

The entire study will be administered online. Participants may complete it at a time and place of their convenience.

The website will automatically obtain consent, ask 16 brief questions as a pre-test, randomize to 4 very brief interventions, ask 4 post-test questions, and at 1-month follow-up, send an email with a link to a 6-question survey. The initial online session is expected to take between 3 and 8 minutes and the 1-month follow-up survey less than 2 minutes.
