Helping Moms Quit Pilot Trial

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Smoking Cessation
• Interventions: Behavioral: Moms Quit; Behavioral: Text4Baby

• Registration Number: NCT05041413
• Lead Sponsor: University of Kansas Medical Center

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to test the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a tailored text message program to support smoking abstinence among postpartum women who smoke or recently quit.

Detailed Description

This pilot trial will evaluate a text message intervention (Moms Quit) to be initiated with postpartum women within one month of delivery. Moms Quit is a tailored program to support smoking abstinence among new mothers who are either current smokers or quit during their most recent pregnancy. Investigators will randomize 30 postpartum women, stratified by recent/current smoking status, into Moms Quit versus vs. CONTROL. Investigators hypothesize that participants receiving Moms Quit will have, on average, a significantly longer period of self-reported prolonged abstinence compared to CONTROL.
