Matching Brief Smoking Interventions to Stage of Change
The long-term goal is to improve the quality of life of children and their parents who smoke
tobacco by facilitating parental smoking cessation in a way that is easy to administer yet
effective. We aim to accomplish this goal by administering an interactive computer-based
program that will facilitate motivation and readiness to engage in smoking cessation by
providing personalized feedback about the financial and health effects of the parent's
smoking. We will compare the changes in motivation and readiness to quit smoking after the
parent has taken the computer-based program and compare them to the changes in motivation
and readiness to quit in parents who receive only information about the Oklahoma Tobacco
Helpline. We will also measure salivary cotinine levels in both parents and children, to
objectively measure changes in smoking habits and secondhand smoke exposure. Our hypothesis
is that our computer-based program will cause a greater increase in motivation and
confidence to quit smoking in the group that receives the customized feedback than the group
that receives only information about the Tobacco Helpline. We also predict that both parent
and child cotinine levels will show a greater decrease in the group randomized to receive
personalized feedback.
