Details and patient eligibility

About

All participants will receive the EnufSnuff.TXT scheduled gradual reduction (SGR) intervention for 6 weeks and, for those who do not reach the point of quit, includes getting randomized (like the flip of a coin) into either an additional 8-10 weeks of the EnufSnuff.TXT intervention or into receiving an additional 8-10 weeks of the EnufSnuff.TXT intervention along with a dedicated text quit coach to send and receive live support.

Full description

All participants will receive the EnufSnuff.TXT intervention (a text-based personalized reduction plan and daily text-based cessation support messages) for 6 weeks and, for those who report that they have not achieved complete cessation, includes getting randomized into either an additional 8-10 weeks of the EnufSnuff.TXT intervention or into receiving an additional 8-10 weeks of the EnufSnuff.TXT intervention along with a dedicated quit coach to send and receive live text support. The investigators will conduct phone-based or smart phone-based assessments with participants at baseline, end of program, and 6-month follow-up after intervention completion. The investigators will also conduct a brief midpoint check (in between end of program and 6-month follow-up assessment) with participants to ask if they have quit using smokeless tobacco. Research staff will email participants redcap surveys at baseline, end of program, midpoint check in, and 6-months. Participants will be able to opt for a recorded telephone interview at EOP (12-week) and 6-month. Each opted-in participant will be interviewed only once (i.e., if a participant is interviewed at 12- week, they will not be interviewed at 6-month).
