Proposed Collection: The National Cancer Institute (NCI)
SmokefreeTXT Program Evaluation, 0925-NEW, NEW, National Cancer
Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This study seeks to assess
the efficacy of the SmokefreeTXT program, a text message smoking
cessation intervention designed for young adult smokers ages 18 to 29.
The SmokefreeTXT program is a component of a larger series of eHealth/
mHealth tobacco cessation intervention programs. SmokefreeTXT has been
developed (and is managed) by the National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Tobacco Control Research Branch (TCRB) at the request of the Office of
the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) at the Department of Health
and Human Services (DHHS). The study seeks to recruit a large sample of
adult smokers to examine how exposure to the SmokefreeTXT intervention
affects participants' success at quitting smoking. There will be 3-arms
to the study; participants will be enrolled for a maximum of 8 weeks of
treatment in the SmokefreeTXT program, with frequency and duration of
the treatment varying by study arm. The SmokefreeTXT Study will collect
self-reported cessation data using the bidirectional aspect of text-
messaging service and a series of web-based surveys. All web-based
survey data will be collected and stored by a third-party, Research
Triangle Institute International (RTI). Respondents will complete a
screener, 5 web-based surveys, and an exit survey for a total of 8,353
annual burden hours. The five surveys include: (1) Pre-treatment
baseline survey; (2) one week post quit date questionnaire; (3) end of
active cessation treatment questionnaire; (4) 12-week post-treatment
questionnaire; (5) 24-weeks post-treatment questionnaire.
OMB approval is requested for 2 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The estimated annualized burden
hours are 4,250.
