Decídetext: Mobile Cessation Support for Latino Smokers
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating The Decídetext program and Standard Care Control for Smoking Cessation. Completed, enrolled 457 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
The primary aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of Decídetexto, an innovative mobile smoking cessation intervention that incorporates two elements: 1) a tablet-based e-Health platform that collects personal smoking-related information to support the development of an individualized quit plan and guides the ensuing text messaging program; and 2) a 12-week text messaging "skills-based counseling" (I.e, behavioral support) program that includes educational information, behavioral strategies, motivational messaging, and pharmacotherapy support driven by information obtained from both the tablet program and the user's text messages. The investigators will evaluate its efficacy relative to a standard care condition that provides high quality printed smoking cessation materials along with referral to telephone quit line counseling. Participants in both groups are given access to free pharmacotherapy via a toll-free study number. Experienced Promotores de Salud (Community Health Workers) will use community and clinic-based outreach to recruit Latino smokers into the study. Participants in both conditions will complete follow-up assessment at the end of treatment (Week 12) and Month 6 (primary outcome). Our hypothesis is that at month 6, smokers in Decídetexto will have significantly higher cotinine-verified 7-day point prevalence abstinence (no cigarettes in the past 7 days) than smokers in the control arm.

Timeline
Interventions
Decídetext participants will be directed to the tablet-based software. Participants will receive an interactive education session that will lead them through language-appropriate, culturally-relevant information about stopping smoking, collection of basic smoking history data, and choices/plans about preparing to quit. Quit plans include: 1) choice of quit date, 2) NRT preference, 3) plan to remove smoking cues, 4) identification of trigger situations and 5) choice of suggested coping strategies. Participant data and choices are used to generate a printed 1-page individualized treatment plan. Tablet components, assessment items, audio narrative, brief multimedia instructional video clips, and the printed treatment plan have been developed to address low-literacy levels.
