Not Applicable

Conditions

Smoking Cessation

Behavioral: Stop Smoking for Good Intervention in Spanish (SS-SP)
Behavioral: Usual care (UC)
Registration Number
NCT02611076
Lead Sponsor
H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop and test a series of culturally relevant and appropriate booklets in Spanish, designed to assist Hispanic smokers in quitting smoking and remaining smoke-free.

Detailed Description

Study Aim 1: To transcreate the existing English-language 10 "Stop Smoking for Good" booklets and accompanying 9 supportive "My Story" pamphlets into a series of culturally relevant and acceptable materials for Spanish-speaking smokers who prefer to receive health information in Spanish. The adaptation of the intervention materials will be based upon the findings from a systematic formative evaluation employing a heterogeneous group of Hispanic/Latino smokers representing diverse subcultural groups.

Study Aim 2: To test the efficacy of the self-help intervention developed in Study I among Spanish-speaking smokers in a randomized controlled trial. Participants (500) will be randomized to receive the Spanish-language version of the Stop Smoking for Good (SS-SP) intervention or usual care (UC) comprising an existing booklet from NCI. Investigators hypothesize SS-SP will produce higher abstinence rates than UC through 24 months.

Secondary Aim: Test moderator variables to improve targeting the intervention. Moderator analyses will be exploratory, without strong a priori hypotheses.
