Detailed Description
The Smokefree Partners: 21 Days to Freedom combined online video, text, and interactive tools to promote the effective use of pharmacological aids (PA) - nicotine replacement products and bupropion (Zyban®) - and provide cognitive-behavioral support for users as they attempted to stop smoking. Smoking cessation content was based on the U.S. Surgeon General's Clinical Guidelines, Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence, 2008 update. Presentation of some of the content (e.g., gender of the narrator, PA recommendations) was tailored to the user on demographic and smoking history information provided during registration and within the introductory session.
Two critical features provided social support and accountability. First, each user was assigned a "live" smoking cessation coach to provide support via individually tailored phone or email contacts (contact preference specified by the user). Users also received automated email reminders and prompts from the program. Second, a bulletin board/forum feature was added to promote social support among users.
The Smokefree Partners intervention was a multi-session intervention in which users experienced a controlled and scheduled exposure to 21 discrete web site sessions. The program required users to wait at least 10 hours between sessions (i.e., login was "locked" until 10 hours had passed after a user's previous Web site session). Carefully timed and tailored coaching messages provided cessation tips and prompted users to return to the web site to view the next session.
The program was evaluated online in a randomized clinical trial of smokers recruited through major worksites across the United States. The aim of the evaluation was to determine if a theoretically based, online smoking cessation program that included message tailoring and interactivity combined with the live personal support of a coach would result in improved quit rates when compared to a wait-list control condition.

---|---|
Experimental: Smokefree Partners: 21 Days to Freedom
Smoking cessation website program with live personal coach
|
Treatment subjects, who chose a quit date, were given 21 sessions to be viewed one session (i..e, one day) at a time, and an in-person smoking cessation coach to support them through their quit process via tailored email or phone coaching messages.
Treatment users were encouraged to use pharmacological aids in their quit attempt, but smoking cessation aids were not provided.

Other: Wait-list control
120-day wait-list and then provided access to the smoking cessation website
|
Subjects randomized to the control condition were placed on a wait-list and given access to the smoking cessation program after 120 days and completion of the 120-day follow-up assessment.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Smoking cessation
Time Frame: 120 days
|
Current smoking status was determined with two items: (a) a stage of change measure indicating smoking status and (b) a measure indicating the number of cigarettes smoked in the past 7 days.
Abstinence at 30-day posttest and 120-day follow-up was confirmed by the participant choosing both (a) the response of "I do not currently smoke; I quit in the last 6 months" to the stage of change measure and (b) a response of "0" to the question "During the past 7 days, how many cigarettes did you smoke each day?"

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Intentions to quit smoking
Time Frame: 30 days and 120 days after baseline
|
1 item assessing the user's likelihood of quitting smoking within the next 30 days; 1-5 response scale (1=extremely likely, 5=not at all likely)
|
30 days and 120 days after baseline
|
intentions to quit and remain smokefree
Time Frame: 30 days and 120 days after baseline

|
30 days and 120 days after baseline
|
self-efficacy for quitting
Time Frame: 30 days and 120 days after baseline
|

|
30 days and 120 days after baseline
|
intentions to use a pharmacological smoking cessation aid (PA)
Time Frame: 30 days and 120 days after baseline

|
30 days and 120 days after baseline
