Summary

This study aims to develop a theory-driven, brief alcohol intervention protocol for HCPs to deliver the intervention for co-users of tobacco and alcohol during smoking cessation treatment. The primary hypothesis is that smoking cessation treatment including the alcohol intervention will increase tobacco abstinence and reduce alcohol drinking. Our second hypothesis is that the brief intervention to deal with alcohol use will be feasible during smoking cessation treatment and be widely accepted by smokers.

Conditions

  • Smoking Cessation

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Smoke Cessation Service

Both of the intervention group and control group will receive standard smoke cessation service, which is same as usual practice.

BEHAVIORAL

Short Advice for Control Group

If the control group participant encountering difficulties in smoke cessation caused by alcohol usage, HCP will provide short advice to them. Participant will be urged not to drink during smoke quitting. If drinking is unavoidable, participant should not drink exceed the low-risk drinking portion recommended by Department of Health, which is 2 standard alcohol units for men and 1 stand alcohol unit for women per day. HCPs will remind participants to aware their drinking portion, in order to quit smoke successfully.

BEHAVIORAL

Brief Alcohol Intervention for Intervention Group

During the face-to-face smoking cessation counseling session, HCPs will first play a 2 - 3 minutes short video with electronic devices to participants who are allocated to the intervention group. After the short video, HCPs will ask participants to share their thoughts and willingness of alcohol control. Participants are expected to show 4 responses: (1) refuse to attempt alcohol control; agree to attempt alcohol control that (2) quit drinking totally, (3) quit drinking for 2 weeks, or (4) reduce the alcohol consumption. HCPs will deliver personalized advice according to participants' choices and encourage them to receive the WhatsApp message reminders. In all participants, HCPs will invite them to receive WhatsApp messages reminders for incoming 4 weeks (3 messages per week). In addition, HCPs can choose to discuss with participants the reasons for consuming alcohol. Nevertheless, HCPs can also choose to provide AUDIT-based brief intervention to the participants.
