Primary outcomePrimary: Continuous Abstinence at 3-months Assessed in Accordance With the NIH Behavior Change Consortium's Recommendations — 40; 19 participants
Summary
The investigators developed a text messaging-based smoking cessation program called SMS (Stop My Smoking) USA. It was tailored for the unique needs and smoking habits of young adults. The investigators hypothesized that those in the SMS USA intervention would be significantly more likely to be quit at 6-months compared to the attention-matched control group.
