Summary

The study is a two-group parallel arm randomized clinical trial, to be conducted at the Syrian Center for Tobacco Studies (SCTS) in Aleppo, Syria.

Conditions

  • Smoking Cessation

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Waterpipe smoking cessation

The main objective of this study is to compare two levels of intensity of a behavioral intervention for waterpipe smoking cessation, using a randomized controlled trial design. In this trial, brief motivational intervention with self-help materials will be compared with intensive behavioral counseling with four sessions, in order to test the efficacy of each of these interventions. This pilot testing will help us; 1) test the potential efficacy of the developed intervention, 2) fine-tune the intervention in terms of content and format, and 3) assess issues related to recruitment and retention. Thus, feedback from participants and intervention staff will form an essential part of this pilot study to assess the adopted approaches and suggest appropriate modifications.
