Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Intervention Feasibility & Acceptability

    The central aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of our treatment interventions. As such, we examined between-group differences on session satisfaction. After completing each session, participants anonymously rated their level of satisfaction with the counseling session. This investigator created scale (Session Satisfaction Scale) used a 5-point Likert scale (from 1 = "Extremely Unsatisfied" to 5 = "Extremely Satisfied"). Mean satisfaction scores were computed for each participant as the average of all session satisfaction scores. Higher scores indicating greater levels of satisfaction. Treatment group session satisfaction group means were tabulated by group (calculated as the average for all participants in each treatment group) and used as a proxy measure of overall intervention acceptability and feasibility.

    Averaged across 3 study visits (Week 0 to Week 12)

  • Patch Adherence: Percentage of Days With Patch

    Adherence to NRT patch (days of NRT patch use) collected with the Timeline followback interview procedure.

    This outcome was collected at each study timepoint and measured the 12 weeks of NRT patch treatment.

  • Number of Abstinent Participants

    Rates of biochemically verified 7-day point prevalence smoking abstinence. Collected with the Timeline Follow-back interview procedure and verified with a expired carbon monoxide testing with a Bedfont Smokelyzer monitor.

    Collected at the 3- and 6-month follow-up visits

Study Arms (3)

Health Education (HE) Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Culturally Tailored Smoking Cessation (CTSC) Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants given reading materials that highlight how aspects of their culture relate to health, smoking and quitting. Participants attend 3 counseling sessions during the study. Each of these counseling sessions are audio recorded. Participant and counselor discuss how smoking and their culture may relate to each other. Participants receive 12 weeks of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).
