This proposal uses a randomized trial design to test three computer- tailored self-help interventions designed to increase rates of cessation among cigarette smokers calling the Cancer Information Service (CIS) for help in quitting. CIS callers will be randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions: 1) Brief Educational Message (BEM) promoting smoking cessation delivered by CIS Information Specialists over the telephone, combined with a single non-tailored follow-up mailing of reinforcing print material (this is the control condition); 2) BEM delivered by CIS Information Specialists, combined with a single tailored mailing of print material; 3) BEM delivered by CIS Information Specialists, combined with four mailings of print material tailored to information obtained solely at baseline; and 4) BEM delivered by CIS Information Specialist, combined with four mailings of print material to information obtained at baseline and at short-term follow-up. Smokers who call the CIS for assistance will be asked questions concerning their state of change, motives for changing, barriers to changing, cessation history, attributions for previous relapses and demographic characteristics. These data will be transferred to the Tailored Message Core facilities, where computer-tailored messages will be created and mailed to the smoker. The impact of the interventions will be assessed three and twelve months after the baseline CIS call using telephone interviews. Results of the trail will provide important information at a crossroad of tailoring research. Nearly all practical formulations of tailored health messages struggle with two questions: "Does sending a series of tailored messages work better than sending a single tailored message?" and "Should we devote the time and effort required collecting new information from the individual for retailoring?" These questions have critical cost implications to administrators of such programs. For this reason, we will conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of each intervention. It is also for this reason that our sample size requirements allow us to test, with sufficient power, differences between each intervention.

该提案使用随机试验设计来测试三种计算机 旨在提高戒烟率的定制自助干预措施 吸烟者致电癌症信息服务 (CIS) 帮助戒烟。 CIS 来电者将被随机分配到四位中的一位 实验条件：1）简短教育信息（BEM）促进 CIS 信息专家在 2019 年期间提供戒烟服务 电话，结合单个非定制的后续邮件 补强打印材料（这是控制条件）； 2）边界元法 由 CIS 信息专家提供，并结合单一定制 邮寄印刷材料； 3）CIS信息提供的BEM 专家结合四封专门定制的印刷材料邮寄 仅在基线时获得的信息； 4) CIS 提供的 BEM 信息专家结合四份印刷材料邮寄 在基线和短期随访中获得的信息。 致电 CIS 寻求帮助的吸烟者将被询问问题 关于他们改变的状态、改变的动机、改变的障碍 变化、戒烟史、先前复发的归因以及 人口特征。 这些数据将被传输到 定制的消息核心设施，其中计算机定制的消息将 被创建并邮寄给吸烟者。 干预措施的影响 将在基线 CIS 通话后三个月和十二个月进行评估 采用电话采访的方式。 追踪结果将在十字路口提供重要信息 剪裁研究。 几乎所有量身定制的健康实用配方 消息与两个问题作斗争：“是否发送一系列 定制消息比发送单个定制消息效果更好？” 以及“我们是否应该投入所需的时间和精力来收集新的 来自个人的信息用于零售？”这些问题有 对此类计划的管理者造成严重的成本影响。 为了这 原因，我们将对每个项目进行成本效益分析 干涉。 也正是因为这个原因，我们的样本量 要求使我们能够以足够的能力测试之间的差异 每次干预。
