• Interventions: Behavioral: Brief behavioral intervention; Other: SMS Program

• Registration Number: NCT03839043
• Lead Sponsor: Mayo Clinic

Brief Summary

Smoking can increase the risk of complications around the time of surgery. Researchers are trying to see if a text messaging program can help smokers stay off cigarettes around the time of surgery.

Detailed Description

The long-term goal of the project is to increase the reach and effectiveness of tobacco use interventions in healthcare settings. The main objective of this project is to determine whether an innovative tobacco use intervention targeting abstinence from the morning of surgery until one week after surgery ("quit for a bit") can increase sustained engagement of surgical patients in treatment compared with a standard tobacco use intervention that specifically targets long-term abstinence ("quit for good").
