NCT02200432

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to maximize patient perspective and effectively support lifestyle choices, investigators will develop the "Patient Experience Recommender System for Persuasive Communication Tailoring." PERSPeCT is a computer system that will assess adult smokers' perspective, to understand the patient's preferences for smoking cessation health messages, and provide personalized, persuasive health communication that is useful to the individual patient in making positive health behavior changes such as smoking cessation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • message influence

    To evaluate the success of PERSPeCT in motivating smokers, we will conduct a pilot randomized trial. We hypothesize that the messages delivered by PERSPeCT will be more influential in encouraging a quit attempt, as compared with messages selected to be delivered by our current rule-based computer tailored messaging system.

    up to five months post data collection

Study Arms (2)

Control

NO INTERVENTION

The study's current rule-based CTHC system is embedded within the Decide2Quit.org web service. Control smokers will receive the current Decide2Quit.org system, including informational web pages, an interactive quit plan, plus pushed email messages. The messages will be selected using the current rule-based CTHC system. The CTHC selects messages based on decision rules (e.g: readiness to quit, gender) using information from a smoker's baseline profile. Participants will receive one message per day for 30 days

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

The PERSPeCT intervention smokers will receive all components of the Decide2Quit.org web service, but persuasive email messages will be selected by the PERSPeCT recommender system developed in Aim 2. PERSPeCT will use data (see Figure 1) to predict messages that would be most influential to the participant. Intervention smokers will receive one PERSPeCT-generated message per day for 30 days. With each message rating, the PERSPeCT system will further adapt to patient preferences.
