DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): The purpose of this project is to develop and test the feasibility of a combined Internet and wireless text messaging application to deliver a smoking cessation program targeting college smokers. Smoking among college students has increased significantly in the past decade but few smoking cessation interventions are tailored to this population of smokers. Based on self-regulation theory, a smoking cessation intervention will be developed which will intervene with college smokers via two communication services typically used by college students, the internet and wireless text messaging (e.g. SMS). The Phase I prototype will allow the user to personalize and tailor the cessation program via web interface. The web site also will provide cessation training modules not easily delivered in limited text messaging formats. Once personalized, the program will send text messages to the user at specified times in preparation of quitting, on the specified quit date, and for relapse prevention purposes post quit. Interactive messaging will be used to assess and dynamically adjust the program as needed. Email and text messaging alerts to social supports also will be utilized by the program to promote a successful quit attempt. After development and testing of the Phase I prototype, feasibility testing will be performed at the University of Notre Dame. Fifty college students who smoke regularly and desire to quit will be recruited for this six-week, pre-post trial. Feasibility criteria will include program utilization, quit attempts, and reductions in nicotine dependence, as well as seven day point prevalence abstinence at post-treatment, validated via CO and saliva cotinine. By using an intervention theory consistent with the highly variable and stimulus-bound smoking behavior of college smokers delivered via two modalities which are commonly used by this population, it is hypothesized that this smoking cessation program will be accepted and utilized by college smokers and produce cessation rates comparable or superior to most self-help smoking cessation interventions.

描述（由研究者提供）：该项目的目的是开发和测试互联网和无线短信应用相结合的可行性，以提供针对大学吸烟者的戒烟计划。过去十年来，大学生吸烟人数显着增加，但很少有针对这一吸烟人群的戒烟干预措施。基于自我调节理论，将开发戒烟干预措施，通过大学生通常使用的两种通信服务：互联网和无线短信（例如短信）对大学吸烟者进行干预。第一阶段原型将允许用户通过网络界面个性化和定制戒烟计划。该网站还将提供戒烟培训模块，这些模块很难以有限的短信格式提供。个性化后，该程序将在指定的戒烟准备时间、指定的戒烟日期以及戒烟后预防复发的目的向用户发送短信。交互式消息传递将用于根据需要评估和动态调整程序。该计划还将利用向社会支持发出的电子邮件和短信提醒来促进成功的戒烟尝试。在第一阶段原型机的开发和测试之后，可行性测试将在圣母大学进行。五十名经常吸烟并希望戒烟的大学生将被招募参加为期六周的事前试验。可行性标准将包括项目利用、戒烟尝试和尼古丁依赖的减少，以及治疗后 7 天点戒烟率，通过 CO 和唾液可替宁进行验证。通过使用与大学吸烟者的高度可变和刺激相关的吸烟行为相一致的干预理论，通过该群体常用的两种方式提供，假设该戒烟计划将被大学吸烟者接受和利用并产生戒烟效果与大多数自助戒烟干预措施相当或更好。
