Brief Summary

This trial studies how well Quit4Health intervention works in supporting smoking cessation and preventing smoking initiation in young adults. Quit4Health intervention may help young adults learn more about the risks of tobacco use and may help them to quit smoking.

Conditions

Cigarette Smoking; Current Smoker

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Abstinence from tobacco

  Any abstinence is defined as "subjective reports of abstinence from tobacco for at least 24 hours or more in the past 30 days", the 7-day point prevalence of abstinence at follow-ups will be verified by measurement of saliva cotinine. The primary analysis will compare the abstinence rates at 6 months in the control and treatment group using a 2-sample test of proportion for all smokers. A secondary analysis will involve a simple post-test analysis among smokers using logistic regression.

  At 6 months

• Susceptibility to tobacco initiation

  Will assess susceptibility to smoking using the measure proposed by Pierce and colleagues. Will employ similar analytic methods as in primary objective 1 to evaluate the prevalence of susceptibility at the 6-month follow-up in subjects randomized to the experimental intervention condition with respect to subjects assigned to the control condition.

  At 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Mediation effect of predictors of smoking and recently identified predictors of tobacco use

  Up to 6 months

• Behavior modification

  Up to 6 months
