Brief summary
The goals of the study are to develop a culturally and linguistically appropriate intervention to promote smoking cessation and reduce secondhand smoke exposure for Korean Americans using a family-based intervention approach targeting Korean Americans ages 18 and above in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, CA, and to evaluate efficacy of the proposed intervention. The study is a randomized control trial targeting a total of 8 lay health workers (LHW) and 48 dyads of a daily smoker and a partner who will attend intervention sessions together. The research question is: Can a family-based lay health worker outreach intervention promote smoking cessation and reduce SHS exposure among Korean Americans?
Interventions
BEHAVIORALTobacco
Quit Smoking For a Healthy Family - This is a family-based psycho-education intervention using lay health worker (LHW) outreach. LHW will be trained to recruit smoke-family dyads and provide education and information about tobacco and health, and smoking cessation resources through 2 small-group education sessions and 2 individual phone calls over a 2-month period.
BEHAVIORALHealthy Living
In this comparison arm, participants will receive the same number of contacts on the same schedule and in the same format (2 small group sessions and 2 telephone calls). The comparison LHWs will receive training about Healthy Living focusing on nutrition and physical activity education. Participants will also receive the Smoking Cessation Resource Handout.
