About this study
Latino Kick Buts (LKB) is a smoking cessation treatment program available to Strong Memorial Hospital patients who smoke. LKB encompasses two integrated components: (1) a 12-week text messaging counseling program with interactive capabilities and (2) pharmacotherapy support (provision of nicotine replacement therapy at no cost). LKB utilization among Latinos who smoke remains minimal. This study aims to identify the types of text messages more effective in enrolling Latinos who smoke, identified in the electronic medical record, into LKB.

- Smoking Cessation

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
One cycleBehavioural
Message Design Participants will receive 3 messages per cycle that contain information on how to enroll in a cessation program.
4 cyclesBehavioural
Participants will receive 3 messages per cycle that contain information on how to enroll in a cessation program.
5 Dollar IncentiveBehavioural
Participants will receive 3 messages per cycle that contain information on how to enroll in a cessation program. The introductory message will mention that participants will receive $5 if they enroll in the program or that they should look out for messages with a "$" sign at the beginning that will provide an incentive if they respond.
Raffle IncentiveBehavioural
The incentive message (indicated with a leading "$" sign) will invite participants to respond, and participants that do so will be included in a random drawing depending on the condition. The incentive message for the opportunity to win will contain a link to a website that provides full details of the timing of the drawing, the chances of winning, and when notification of winners will be made.
