Latinos Kick Buts: Mobile Engagement and Cessation Support for Latinos Who Smoke

Latino Kick Buts (LKB) is a smoking cessation treatment program available to Strong Memorial Hospital patients who smoke. LKB encompasses two integrated components: (1) a 12-week text messaging counseling program with interactive capabilities and (2) pharmacotherapy support (provision of nicotine replacement therapy at no cost). LKB utilization among Latinos who smoke remains minimal. This study aims to identify the types of text messages more effective in enrolling Latinos who smoke, identified in the electronic medical record, into LKB.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: One cycle-no monetary incentive	Behavioral: One cycle; Message Design Participants will receive 3 messages per cycle that contain information on how to enroll in a cessation program.
Active Comparator: One cycle-fixed amount of incentive	Behavioral: One cycle; Message Design Participants will receive 3 messages per cycle that contain information on how to enroll in a cessation program.; Behavioral: 5 Dollar Incentive; Participants will receive 3 messages per cycle that contain information on how to enroll in a cessation program. The introductory message will mention that participants will receive $5 if they enroll in the program or that they should look out for messages with a "$" sign at the beginning that will provide an incentive if they respond.
Active Comparator: One cycle-raffle as incentive	Behavioral: One cycle; Message Design Participants will receive 3 messages per cycle that contain information on how to enroll in a cessation program.; Behavioral: Raffle Incentive; The incentive message (indicated with a leading "$" sign) will invite participants to respond, and participants that do so will be included in a random drawing depending on the condition. The incentive message for the opportunity to win will contain a link to a website that provides full details of the timing of the drawing, the chances of winning, and when notification of winners will be made.
Active Comparator: 4 cycles- no monetary incentive	Behavioral: 4 cycles; Participants will receive 3 messages per cycle that contain information on how to enroll in a cessation program.
Active Comparator: 4 cycles- fixed amount of incentive	Behavioral: 5 Dollar Incentive; Participants will receive 3 messages per cycle that contain information on how to enroll in a cessation program. The introductory message will mention that participants will receive $5 if they enroll in the program or that they should look out for messages with a "$" sign at the beginning that will provide an incentive if they respond.; Behavioral: 4 cycles; Participants will receive 3 messages per cycle that contain information on how to enroll in a cessation program.
Active Comparator: 4 cycles- raffle as incentive	Behavioral: Raffle Incentive; The incentive message (indicated with a leading "$" sign) will invite participants to respond, and participants that do so will be included in a random drawing depending on the condition. The incentive message for the opportunity to win will contain a link to a website that provides full details of the timing of the drawing, the chances of winning, and when notification of winners will be made.; Behavioral: 4 cycles; Participants will receive 3 messages per cycle that contain information on how to enroll in a cessation program.
