Background summary
In a randomized clinical trial (RCT) the effectiveness of an online smoking cessation self-help intervention will be compared to the effectiveness of an online smoking cessation brochure.
The online self-help program consists of three components;
1. a smoking cessation module containing exercises which are based on cognitive behavioural therapy;
2. a discussion forum;
3. state-of-the art information and tips about smoking cessation.
The control group gets access to an online smoking cessation brochure which advises on smoking cessation and gives information about withdrawal symptoms. Abstinence, smoking in the last 7 days (point prevalence), and incidence of quitting attempts of 24 hours or longer are the primary outcomes in this study. Measurements take place before the intervention and four and seven months after baseline.
Study objective
Compared to an online smoking cessation brochure, does participation in an online self-help smoking cessation program lead to:
1. A greater percentage successful quitters, three and six months after the start of the intervention;
2. A greater percentage of quitting attempts.
