Brief Summary

For the approximately 4.6 million LGBT persons in the U.S., smoking rates among those living in urban areas are roughly twice that of heterosexuals. Targeted interventions have shown great promise in reducing health risk behaviors across a variety of behaviors and population groups by enhancing the relevance of the health information. The primary aim of this study is to test the efficacy of a culturally targeted group-based smoking cessation intervention (vs. a non-targeted intervention) on smoking outcomes among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) smokers. The investigators anticipate that the culturally targeted intervention will be more effective at helping LGBT smokers to successfully stop smoking than will the non-targeted intervention.

  7-Day point prevalence smoking quit rates will serve as the main outcome measure and will be obtained from Time Line Follow-Back (TLFB) interviews.

  Assessed 3 months after quit date

• 7-Day Point Prevalence Smoking Quit Rates 6 Months Post Quit Date

  7-Day point prevalence smoking quit rates will serve as the main outcome measure and will be obtained from Time Line Follow-Back (TLFB) interviews.

  Assessed 6 months after quit date

• 7-Day Point Prevalence Smoking Quit Rates 12 Months Post Quit Date

  7-Day point prevalence smoking quit rates will serve as the main outcome measure and will be obtained from Time Line Follow-Back (TLFB) interviews.

  Assessed 12 months after quit date

Study Arms (2)

Culturally Targeted Cessation Program

EXPERIMENTAL

The culturally targeted program will include the same cognitive and behavioral approaches and smoking education content that is used in the standard program. As such, we will maintain the integrity of the core program. However, cultural targeting of that program has been informed by local LGBT focus group input and testing, the available literature on LGBT smoking rates and behaviors, feedback from a panel of LGBT health experts, and data collected as part of a previous study.

Behavioral: Culturally Targeted Cessation Program

Non-Targeted Cessation Program

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Non-culturally targeted program with cognitive and behavioral approaches and smoking education content.

Behavioral: Non-Targeted Cessation Program

Interventions

Culturally Targeted Cessation Program BEHAVIORAL

The culturally targeted version of the behavioral counseling intervention will consist of six group-based smoking cessation counseling sessions. Each smoking cessation therapy session will last approximately 90 minutes and will begin two weeks before the quit date. In addition, participants will be provided nicotine replacement therapy and peer support sessions will occur between the group sessions.
