Smoking Cessation
Conditions
Brief summary
Latino Kick Buts (LKB) is a smoking cessation treatment program available to patients identified as smokers at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Latino Kick Buts smoking cessation mobile program encompasses two integrated components: (1) a 12-week text messaging counseling program with interactive capabilities; and (2) pharmacotherapy support (provision of nicotine replacement therapy at no cost). LKB utilization among Latino smokers remains minimal. The aim of this pilot study is to identify types of text message that are more effective to enrolling Latino smokers in the LKB.
