About this study

This trial studies how well a new smoking cessation and prevention intervention works in enhancing smoking cessation for university students. The new intervention may be easier to use for students to quit smoke.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To establish the feasibility of a new smoking cessation and prevention intervention including two new modules addressing alcohol use and depression.

II. Demonstrate the feasibility of a smoking prevention website.

OUTLINE: Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Participants who currently smoke complete a survey over 30 minutes and discuss the survey results with the counselor over 30 minutes at week 2. Participants also complete 3 internet surveys over 20 minutes.

ARM II: Participants who currently do not smoke complete a survey over 30 minutes and discuss the survey results with the counselor over 30 minutes at week 2.

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

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The ease of use and appeal of various features of the program

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  2. The quality of the interactive multi-media presentations and their ability to generate interest in smoking cessation and prevention

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  3. Behavior modification determined by EVOLVE Follow up Survey-Smoker

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  4. Knowledge of modules in the program

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  5. Feasibility defined as 90% of the student participants indicating that the intervention program is easy to use and can fit into their schedule

    Associations between the dependent variables and smoking status will be evaluated with linear and logistic regression models with campus of origin and smoking status as independent predictors of these outcomes.

    Measured: Up to 5 months
