Pilot Randomized Trial of Brief Automated Smoking Cessation Intervention and Evaluation for Smokers Discharged From Hospital

This study aims to pilot a method of collecting the post-discharge follow-up data required by
the Joint Commission Tobacco Measure Set, using text messages sent to and received from
patients' cellular-telephones. It also aims to assess whether specially designed relapse
prevention text messages designed to encourage abstinence from smoking, can increase the
proportion of smokers who remain abstinent during the first month after discharge from
hospital.

Participants will be those who are hospitalized at Hershey Medical Center and are interested
in help to stay quit when they leave the hospital.
