Smoking Cessation
Conditions
Brief summary
Latino Kick Buts (LKB) is a smoking cessation treatment program available to Strong Memorial Hospital patients who smoke. LKB 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 Latinos who smoke remains minimal. This study aims to identify the types of text messages more effective in enrolling Latinos who smoke, identified in the electronic medical record, into LKB.
