Brief Summary

Tobacco use is still the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States. Tobacco quit lines are effective at helping smokers to quit, but quit lines are underutilized, especially by men and racial/ethnic minorities. Guided imagery is effective at helping people quit smoking, and is appealing to males and diverse racial groups, but has limited reach. The proposed study will develop and test the feasibility and acceptability of a guided imagery tobacco cessation intervention that is delivered by a combination of quit line coaches and an interactive website. The investigators hypothesize that guided mental imagery delivered using the quit line "coaching model" combined with an interactive website could be an effective intervention strategy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Number of Participants With Change in Self-reported 7-day Tobacco Abstinence From Baseline to Follow-up

  Tobacco use over the past seven days is assessed by project staff at 6-months post-enrollment. Tobacco use includes cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, and other types of tobacco. The question is asked "Have you smoked, even a puff, in the last 7 days?" "Have you used any other form of tobacco in the last 7 days?" If yes to either question, the participant is asked to indicate what type of tobacco was used and how much was used (e.g., "how many cigarettes did you smoke on a typical day?").

  6 months

• Number of Participants With Change in Self-reported Tobacco 30-day Abstinence From Baseline to Follow-up

  Tobacco use over the past 30 days is assessed by project staff at 6-months post-enrollment. Tobacco use includes cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, and other types of tobacco. The question is asked "Have you smoked, even a puff, in the last 30 days?" "Have you used any other form of tobacco in the last 30 days?" If yes to either question, the participant is asked to indicate what type of tobacco was used and how much was used (e.g., "how many cigarettes did you smoke on a typical day?").
