Interventions
Smokers will be introduced to various smoking cessation (SC) services in Hong Kong (using the referral card) and be motivated to use the services. Field research staff will assist on-site booking SC services for smokers. Tailored messages, including: harm of smoking, benefit of smoking cessation, importance of adherence to smoking cessation appointment and encouragement on abstinence will be sent via instant messaging (IM) services (e.g. WhatsApp, WeChat) to smokers after initial contact.
Fix-schedule SMS messages will be sent to encourage them to book the smoking cessation services appointment. Smokers are required to book the SC appointments by themselves.
Ask about smoking history, Warn about the high risk of smoking, Advise to quit as soon as possible, Refer to the smoking cessation services, and Do it again: to repeat the intervention during tel. follow-ups.
The 3-folded "Smoking Cessation Services" card consists of brief information and highlights of existing smoking cessation services, contact methods, motivation information and strong supporting messages or slogans.
