Development of a Smoking Cessation Video Series

This study seeks to develop and test an internet video series aimed at helping individuals reduce cigarette smoking. Participants (daily smokers) will be asked to watch a series of six videos (approximately 6.5 minutes each) which cover various empirically-supported smoking cessation strategies and tools. Examples of strategies included in the videos include noticing smoking cues and consequences and relaxation training. Participants' demographic information, motivation to change, reactions to the video series alliance with video therapist, and confidence in avoiding smoking will all be measured. Additionally, participants will be asked to report their smoking behavior at study baseline and follow-up.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Video Group; Participants randomly assigned to this group will be provided access to the video intervention series.

No Intervention: No-Video Group

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Smoking Quantity/Frequency	Cigarettes smoked in past 30 days.	Measured at baseline and 30 days following completion of video series.
Subjective Reactions to Video Series	Scale based on measure previously developed and used by PI of this study (Schmidt et al., 2023). Outcome explores participants' experience with and opinions of video intervention (e.g., video helpfulness, clarity, etc.).	Measured upon completion of video series, within 2 weeks of beginning study.
Self-Efficacy Questionnaire	Participants' belief in their ability to avoid smoking. SEQ-12: Etter et al., 2000)	Measured upon completion of video series (within 2 weeks of beginning study) and at 30-day follow-up.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The Working Alliance Inventory for Guided Internet Interventions	Participants' sense of alliance with therapist leading video intervention. (WAI-I: Penedo et al., 2020).	Measured upon completion of video series, within 2 weeks of beginning study.
Motivation to Quit Smoking (Change Ladder)	Participants' level of motivation to change smoking behavior measured using a stages of change ladder based in Motivational Interviewing principles.	Measured upon completion of video series (within 2 weeks of beginning study) and one-month follow-up.
Smoking Quit Attempt	Whether participants made a quit attempt during the course of the study. Measured using a single, "yes or no" item asking whether participants attempted to quit smoking in the past month.	Measured at 30-day follow-up.
