Conditions
Interventions
The online self-help smoking cessation program consists of three components
1. A smoking cessation module containing exercises which are based on cognitive behavioural therapy
2. A discussion forum, and
3. State-of-the art information and tips about smoking cessation.
The control group gets access to an online smoking cessation brochure (‘Quit smoking
why and how’) which advises on smoking cessation and gives information about withdrawal symptoms. Each intervention can be used in accordance with their needs.
Both interventions are developed by STI
