Using Facebook to Address Smoking and Heavy Drinking in Young Adults
This trial will test the efficacy of a 3-month intervention on Facebook targeting tobacco use
and heavy episodic drinking against a 3-month Facebook intervention targeting tobacco use.
Both groups will be offered a nicotine patch starter kit. The primary outcome is verified
7-day point prevalence abstinence from smoking at 3, 6, and 12 months.
and heavy episodic drinking against a 3-month Facebook intervention targeting tobacco use.
Both groups will be offered a nicotine patch starter kit. The primary outcome is verified
7-day point prevalence abstinence from smoking at 3, 6, and 12 months.
Participants will be randomized to one of two conditions: (1) a Facebook-delivered
intervention addressing tobacco use and heavy episodic drinking, tailored to readiness to
quit smoking; or (2) a 3-month Facebook intervention targeting tobacco use. Both
interventions will include 12 weeks of Facebook-based messages and activities tailored to
participants' readiness to quit smoking.
Assessments will occur at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up. Assessments will include
measures on smoking and drinking patterns and thoughts about abstinence. All participants who
report no past 7-day smoking will be asked to give biochemical verification of smoking status
with saliva cotinine test kits that will be mailed to participants.
