The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a mobile smoking cessation intervention in Puerto Rico. This was a single-arm pilot study with 26 smokers in Puerto Rico who were enrolled in Decídetexto, a mobile smoking cessation intervention. Decídetexto incorporates three integrated components: (1) a tablet-based software that collects smoking-related information to develop an individualized quit plan, (2) a 24-week text messaging counseling program with interactive capabilities, and (3) pharmacotherapy support. Outcome measures included self-reported 7-day point prevalence abstinence at Months 3 and 6, pharmacotherapy adherence, satisfaction with the intervention, and changes in self-efficacy. The average age of the participants was 46.8 years (SD 12.7), half of them (53.8%) were female. Most participants (92.3%) smoked daily and half of them (53.8%) used menthol cigarettes. All participants requested nicotine patches at baseline. However, only 13.0% of participants used the patch >75% of days. At Month 3, 10 participants (38.4%) self-reported 7-day point prevalence abstinence (88.5% follow-up rate). At Month 6, 16 participants (61.5%) self-reported 7-day point prevalence abstinence (76.9% follow-up rate). Most participants (90%, 18/20) reported being satisfied/extremely satisfied with the intervention at Month 6. Self-efficacy mean scores significantly increased from 40.4 (SD 12.1) at baseline to 57.9 (SD 11.3) at Month 3 (p < 0.01). The study suggests that Decídetexto holds promise for further testing among Puerto Rican smokers.

Lung Screening

The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a telephone-based smoking cessation intervention for lung screening patients. Participants ( N = 39) were enrolled in a single-arm pilot study of a four-session telephone-based intervention. Self-report measures were completed at baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up. Participants were long-term smokers; 62 percent were not motivated to quit. Twenty-three percent attempted quitting, 29 percent decreased their smoking, and 11 percent reported abstinence. Confidence increased ( p < .001) and there were trends toward increased importance ( p = .09) and comparative disease risk ( p = .02). This intervention was acceptable and associated with improvements in smoking-related beliefs and behaviors.

Abstract Background Smoking rates in France are high, and present a substantial socio-economic gradient. Smokers with low socio-economic position (SEP) may be more dependent on nicotine, and have more financial difficulties to buy nicotine substitutes. Tailored approaches are therefore needed. Methods STOP (Sevrage Tabagique à l’aide d’Outils dédiés selon la Préférence) is an ongoing pilot study, examining the acceptability of a smoking cessation intervention. Smokers with low SEP are recruited in six healthcare centres in Greater Paris area by health professionals and are offered substitute(s) of their choice for 4 weeks. Participants can choose between different types of nicotine substitutes (NS; patches, inhalers, etc.) and/or an e-cigarette delivered free of charge. The acceptability of this approach is examined in patients and doctors, using a mixed-method approach. Results So far, 30 smokers have been included in our study, 20% chose e-cigarettes, 36% chose NS, 36% chose both, and 2 participants (8%) chose neither. More than half of participants quit smoking (66%) at one week after inclusion, with 11 reporting tobacco abstinence out of 16 participants followed for 4 weeks. The average number of cigarettes smoked decreased from 15(sd = 10) at inclusion to 8.5 (sd = 5) among those who didn’t quit at four week. In qualitative interviews, one of the facilitators highlighted by health professionals was the perceived “met need” of smokers with low SEP when given free quitting aids without upfront-payment. One of the reported obstacles is the difficulty in scheduling consecutive follow-up meetings in short time. Discussion It is feasible to implement a smoking cessation programme aimed at smokers with low SEP, and embedded in the healthcare system. If proven effective, this intervention could contribute to decreasing social inequalities with regard to tobacco use. Recruitment in a randomised controlled multicentre trial based on this pilot study will start at the end of 2019. Key messages It is feasible to put in place a smoking cessation intervention among socially-disadvantaged in healthcare centres. Free access to nicotine substitutes and e-cigarettes could be a promising smoking cessation intervention among smokers with low socio-economic position.
