Brief Summary

This trial develops a contextually tailored and optimized smoking cessation intervention and studies smoking motivations and motivations to quit smoking in homeless youth. Identifying motivations for smoking and motivations to quit smoking may help researchers build a program to help homeless young people quit smoking cigarettes if desired.

Conditions

Cigarette Smoking-Related Carcinoma

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Youth's psychological and physical capacity (capability)

  Participant's psychological and physical capacity that have prompted them in the past or may motivate them to 1) smoke, 2) make a quit attempt, and 3) engage in supported cessation will be captured. An iterative approach to team-based codebook development and coding will be used to analyze interview data. In Stage 1, text will be coded according to the specific research question using structural codes. In Stage 2, in depth codes will be created using emergent themes from the structurally coded text. The coders will create as many in depth codes as needed in order to capture all aspects of youth's perspective on current psychosocial influences on smoking, and the psychological and physical capacities critical to engagement in tobacco cessation intervention. Data is separated by the age cut-off for standard recommendations regarding cessation intervention (14-17 and 18-24) to assess if differences exist that should be considered for intervention in homeless drop in centers.

  Up to 3 years

• Youth's physical and social factors (opportunity)

  Participant's physical and social factors (opportunity) that have prompted them in the past or may motivate them to 1) smoke, 2) make a quit attempt, and 3) engage in supported cessation will be captured. In Stage 1, text will be coded according to the specific research question using structural codes. In Stage 2, in depth codes will be created using emergent themes from the structurally coded text. The coders will create as many in depth codes as needed in order to capture all aspects of youth's perspective on current psychosocial influences on smoking, and the physical and social opportunities critical to engagement in tobacco cessation intervention. Data is separated by the age cut-off for standard recommendations regarding cessation intervention (14-17 and 18-24) to assess if differences exist that should be considered for intervention in homeless drop in centers.

Study Arms (4)

MOST STEP Ia (interview)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants attend a semi-structured interview over 60 minutes to help establish theoretical model of contextually tailored smoking cessation for homeless youth.

Other: Interview

MOST STEP Ib (survey)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants complete a survey to help establish theoretical model of contextually tailored smoking cessation for homeless youth.

Other: Survey Administration

MOST STEP II (feasibility study)

EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention components are identified and selected from Focus Groups. Participants take part in a study to assess these components for feasibility in implementing in coordination with homeless youth services, as well as determining main effect estimates for future studies.

Behavioral: Smoking Cessation Intervention

MOST STEP II (focus groups)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants attend focus groups to help identify a set of cessation intervention components for homeless youth and determine component acceptability and feasibility.
