Summary

This study, sponsored jointly by the George Washington University School of Public Health and the NICHD, will compare the effectiveness of two self-help quit-smoking programs for young people.

Smokers between 18 and 22 years of age who are interested in quitting smoking may be eligible for this 6-month study. Candidates must be enrolled in school at least part time.

Participants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. Both groups receive a brief counseling session and self-help guide, and one group also receives email counseling related to quitting smoking. All participants have three interviews-one in person at the beginning of the program, one over the phone after 2 months in the program, and one in person after 6 months, at the end of the program. The surveys cover the participant's intentions and behaviors related to smoking cessation and their opinions about the self-help materials. In addition, participants may be asked to provide saliva samples at the beginning and end of the program for verifying smoking status.
