Spanish-Language Smoking Cessation Trial

November 2, 2022 updated by: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

Expanding the Reach of a Validated Smoking-Cessation Intervention: A Spanish-Language Trial

Results of a recently completed National Cancer Institute (NCI) funded trial of an intervention, Forever Free: Stop Smoking for Good, revealed high efficacy throughout the 24- month follow-up period, further supporting the utility of extended self-help for promoting and maintaining tobacco abstinence. Investigators have recognized that wide-scale implementation, and therefore public health impact, would be enhanced by the availability of a Spanish-language version to reach the largest and fastest growing ethnic minority population of smokers.

The goal of this study is to address this gap by testing a Spanish-language version of the validated self-help smoking cessation intervention. If demonstrated effective, the proposed intervention would represent an easily disseminable and low-cost intervention with significant public health impact for Hispanic/Latino smokers throughout the United States. The aims of this project are to test the efficacy of a Spanish-language version of a validated, extended self-help intervention for smoking cessation among Spanish-speaking smokers against usual care control. Participants (N = 1400) recruited nationally will be randomized to the two arms.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Extended Self-help
Spanish-Language Version of the Stop Smoking for Good: The Extended Self-help condition will comprise the 11 Stop Smoking for Good booklets and 9 supportive My Story pamphlets transcreated for Spanish speaking smokers.
Behavioral: Spanish-Language Version of the Stop Smoking for Good
Participants in the first arm will receive the Spanish-language version of the Stop Smoking for Good (SS-SP) intervention distributed over 18 months.
Active Comparator: Usual Care (UC)
NCI-Produced Spanish-language Self-help Booklet: The UC control condition enhances the external validity of the study by providing a comparison to an existing, credible intervention that a smoker could receive in a medical setting or elsewhere.
Behavioral: NCI-Produced Spanish-language Self-help Booklet
Participants in the second arm will receive a single, credible, NCI-produced Spanish-language self-help booklet.
