Brief summary
The specific objectives of this study are to investigate the (1) feasibility, (2) preliminary effectiveness and (3) effect sizes of the integrated smoking cessation and alcohol intervention when compared to standalone smoking cessation (ST) and control among young adults in Hong Kong.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALStandard treatment (ST) arm
participants who are ready to quit smoking: a brief smoking cessation intervention based on the 5A models and STAR method as quitting skills. participants who are not yet ready to quit smoking: a brief smoking cessation intervention based on the 5R models.
BEHAVIORALIntegrated Intervention (II) arm
brief advice on alcohol use based on the FRAMES model and the brief smoking cessation intervention based on the 5A and 5R models.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| completion rate | From screening to the end of treatment after 6 months | the number of participants who complete the questionnaire divided by the number of questionnaires distributed |
| adherence to intervention | From screening to the end of treatment after 6 months | the number of participants in the two treatment arms who practice the skills learned during the intervention divided by the number of participants in the two treatment arms |
| retention rate | From screening to the end of treatment after 6 months | the number of participants who remain in the study divided by the number of participants randomized |
| missing data | From screening to the end of treatment after 6 months | the percentage of missing data |
| adverse events | From screening to the end of treatment after 6 months | unfavorable or unintended events during the study period that were not present at baseline or appear to have worsened since baseline |
| screening rate | From screening to the end of treatment after 6 months | the number of smokers screened divided by the number of smokers available for screening |
| eligibility rate | From screening to the end of treatment after 6 months | the number of eligible smokers divided by the number of screened people |
| consent rate | From screening to the end of treatment after 6 months | the number of eligible smokers who agree to participate divided by the number of eligible smokers |
| randomization rate | From screening to the end of treatment after 6 months | the number of participants who are randomized divided by the number of eligible smokers who consent to participate |
| attendance rate | From screening to the end of treatment after 6 months | the number of participants who complete the intervention divided by the number of participants who are randomized into the treatment arms (ST and II) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
