Summary

The goal of this pilot study of a clinical trial is to learn about the acceptability and feasibility of a virtual smoking cessation program in both the perioperative and fracture clinic settings. The main questions this study aims to answer are:

* The number of people that participate in the virtual smoking cessation program
* The acceptability of the number, length, content, and delivery of the email messages provided by the program.

Participants will be asked to subscribe to our virtual intervention which will include:

* A smoking cessation e-learning module component to provide education on the risks of smoking in the surgical or fracture clinic setting, and
* An emailing program component that will provide tailored email messages over a 30-45 day period depending on a patient's Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence score and motivation to quit smoking.

Researchers will also compare the virtual smoking cessation program to standard care to see if there are any differences shown between both groups in the Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence scores, number of cigarettes smoked, number of quit attempts, complication rates, and re-admission rates at the 7 day and 30 day time points.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Virtual Smoking Cessation Program

This program consists of an e-learning smoking cessation education module and a tailored email messaging program. The e-learning module addresses the potential health benefits to quitting smoking regarding surgery or recovering from a fracture. In addition, it provides information on getting support through the process of quitting smoking based on the individual's level of smoking dependence. Email frequency and content will vary based on the participant's score and level of motivation. Information will include the risks associated with smoking before surgery or how quitting smoking can improve recovery from a fracture injury. Additional information includes the benefits of quitting smoking and developing coping strategies during a quit attempt. Motivational emails and references to free resources for additional smoking cessation support will also be provided.
