Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Culturally-tailored Tobacco Treatment Intervention
Upon consent, participants will complete a baseline survey, receive the home Carbon monoxide monitor and instructions on how to use, and be scheduled for weekly telephone calls with a certified tobacco treatment specialist (CTTS) for 6 weeks. The culturally-tailored tobacco intervention content by week via telephone call with the CTTS includes among others: Reasons and Motivations for Quitting, Benefits of Quitting, Stress Management and Discussion about Environmental Influences. Participants will also receive weekly Culturally-tailored Content Newsletters emailed after their weekly cessation counseling session.
Behavioral: Culturally-tailored Tobacco Treatment
Weekly telephone calls with a certified tobacco treatment specialist (CTTS) for 6 weeks. The culturally-tailored tobacco intervention content by week via telephone call with the CTTS includes among others: Reasons and Motivations for Quitting, Benefits of Quitting, Stress Management and Discussion about Environmental Influences.
Behavioral: Culturally-tailored Content Newsletters
Weekly newsletters covering topics such as Race and Smoking, Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) Reasons and Motivations for Quitting, Benefits of Quitting and other related topics.
Active Comparator: Preference-Driven Culturally-tailored Tobacco Treatment Intervention
Upon consent, participants will complete a baseline survey, receive the home Carbon monoxide monitor and instructions on how to use, and be scheduled for weekly telephone calls with a certified tobacco treatment specialist (CTTS) for 6 weeks. The culturally-tailored tobacco intervention content by week via telephone call with the CTTS includes among others: Reasons and Motivations for Quitting, Benefits of Quitting, Stress Management and Discussion about Environmental Influences. Participants will complete the one-item Control Preference Scale and receive either an Active Content Newsletter or Passive Content Newsletter emailed after their weekly cessation counseling session.
Behavioral: Culturally-tailored Tobacco Treatment
Weekly telephone calls with a certified tobacco treatment specialist (CTTS) for 6 weeks. The culturally-tailored tobacco intervention content by week via telephone call with the CTTS includes among others: Reasons and Motivations for Quitting, Benefits of Quitting, Stress Management and Discussion about Environmental Influences.
Behavioral: Control Preference Scale
Survey to elicit preference on the decision-making interaction with healthcare provider. The survey uses a 5 point scale from 1 to 5 with 1 or 2 points representing Active Control Preference; 3 or 4 representing a Collaborative Control Preference and 5 representing a Passive Control Preference.
Behavioral: Active Content Newsletter or Passive Content Newsletter
Based on the answers to the Control Preference Scale, participants will receive the appropriate weekly newsletter (active content or passive content). Newsletters are covering topics such as Race and Smoking, Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) Reasons and Motivations for Quitting, Benefits of Quitting and other related topics presented in a more passive or active manner.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Feasibility of the 6-week tobacco treatment intervention
Time Frame: Post intervention completion - At 6 weeks
Examine the feasibility of a 6-week community-based culturally tailored tobacco treatment intervention to a preference driven culturally-tailored tobacco treatment intervention targeted to African American women by assessing the number of participants that complete all 6-week tobacco treatment calls.
Post intervention completion - At 6 weeks
Accessibility and Satisfaction of the 6-week tobacco treatment intervention
Time Frame: Post intervention completion - At 6 weeks
Examine the acceptability and satisfaction of a 6-week community-based culturally-tailored tobacco treatment intervention to a preference driven culturally-tailored tobacco treatment intervention targeted to African American women using the 17-item Acceptability & Satisfaction Questionnaire.
Post intervention completion - At 6 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effectiveness of the intervention
Time Frame: Post intervention completion - At 6 weeks
