Brief Summary

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

This trial studies how well Quit4Health intervention works in supporting smoking cessation and preventing smoking initiation in young adults. Quit4Health intervention may help young adults learn more about the risks of tobacco use and may help them to quit smoking.

Detailed Description

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

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate whether smokers randomized to Quit4Health are more likely to quit smoking and remain tobacco-free at 6 months than subjects randomized to the education only control group.

II. To evaluate whether non-smokers who are randomized to Quit4Health are less likely to initiate tobacco usage and remain tobacco-free at 6 months than non-smokers randomized to the education only control group.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate whether well-established predictors of susceptibility and barriers to cessation (e.g. self-efficacy, knowledge about associated risks, normative beliefs, attitudes, resistance skills, peer pressure) and recently identified predictors of tobacco use (e.g., depression, nicotine dependence, alcohol use, risk-taking propensity) will mediate the effect of the intervention on both onset (for non-smokers) and cessation (for smokers) of tobacco use.

II. To evaluate whether, at the end-of-treatment (EOT) assessment, participants (both smokers and non-smokers) in Quit4Health will report a significantly better perception of Quit4Health (message relevance, tailoring to specific needs based on tobacco use status, motivation to quit, etc.) compared with their counterparts in the education only control arm.

OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I: Participants utilize Quit4Health intervention that includes interactive features, coping strategies and games related to cigarettes and other tobacco products for 1 month.

GROUP II: Participants read an educational booklet about cigarettes and other tobacco products for 1 month.

After completion of study, participants are followed at 3 and 6 months.
