Brief Summary
This trial will test the effectiveness of an enhanced web-based smoking cessation intervention for student smokers at 2-year Community Colleges. Young adults continue to be understudied, so more studies of cessation interventions are needed to generate an acceptable level of strength of evidence regarding quit rates, particularly so for Community College students for whom little data on cessation are available. Students (research subjects) will be directed to one of two intervention websites with various levels of novel interactive and social network features, including a variety of better-practice features recommended by recent literature, and technologically advanced proactive features (e-mails, SMS texting, and social networking). Our study hypothesizes that students with access to an enhanced website will have higher rates of self-reported intention to quit, a higher number of quit attempts at 6-months compared to those in in a non-enhanced website. Overall, this study will evaluate evidence for a novel enhanced cessation intervention model and will add to our understanding of successful intervention with an understudied population of primarily young adult Community College smokers. The intervention components will be replicable and, if effective, the methodology is applicable across populations, and has the potential for broad public health impact through improved delivery of effective stop smoking interventions via the internet.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Number of Participants Who Self-report Abstinence From Tobacco
Our primary outcome is self-reported abstinence at the six month evaluation point. Abstinence outcomes at this time point are defined in three ways: 1) as self-reported abstinence (no cigarettes or other tobacco use) in the past 7 days prior to this six month time point, 2) or as no use in the past 30 days prior to this six-month time point (the 30 day period is the more conservative measure), or 3) self-reported prolonged abstinence from the time of a specific self-reported cessation date.
6 month follow-up
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Number of Participants With Biochemically Verified Abstinence From Tobacco
6 month follow-up
Study Arms (2)
Enhanced Web Assisted Intervention
EXPERIMENTALEnhanced Web Assisted Tobacco Intervention. An enhanced and highly interactive website for cessation.
Basic Web Assisted Intervention.
ACTIVE COMPARATORBasic Web Assisted Tobacco Intervention. A basic website for cessation comparable to those for general adult populations, including established evidence-based cessation information and features.
Interventions
Subjects at community college campuses will be directed to a cessation website with current Public Health Service Guideline information and effective smoking cessation strategies, and some combination of novel interactive and social network features, including a variety of better-practice features recommended recent literature, and technologically advanced proactive features (e-mails, SMS texting, and social networking).
Subjects at community college campuses will be directed to a cessation website with current Public Health Service Guideline information and effective smoking cessation strategies, and with minimal interactive web-based features.
