Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Participants Reporting a Quit Attempt Within the Past Week at 1 Month and 3 Months — 142; 143; 139; 145 Participants
Summary
Background:
Quitting smoking is hard. It is easy to relapse. Smokers may think of temptation to smoke as a threat if they think it suggests that they are unable to meet the challenges of stopping. When people feel such a threat to their sense of self-identity, they may get defensive. They may want to downplay the importance of quitting. This could make them try to quit less. Self-affirmation is a process of focusing on strengths and values. This can offset threats to the self and promote healthier behavior.
Objective:
To explore people s values, smoking attitudes, and smoking behavior.
Eligibility:
People ages 18 and older who smoke
Design:
The study takes place entirely on a mobile device.
Participants will give their age, gender, data about their smoking habits, and desired quit date.
Then they will get different texts about quitting.
Participants will answer follow-up surveys 1 and 3 months later.
