About
Among all racial/ethnic groups, African Americans have the greatest risk of becoming ill or dying from tobacco-related diseases. Because of this disproportionate disease burden, it is particularly urgent that researchers focusing on tobacco control partner with African American communities. Intervention strategies which hold the tobacco industry accountable for its behavior are effective in changing views of tobacco use. In earlier work, the investigators found that information from internal tobacco industry documents, when shown to African American smokers, stimulated reflection about quitting and interest in disseminating information about industry targeting behaviors to others. However, to date there have been no attempts to utilize the information in industry documents as part of a smoking cessation intervention. In this project, the investigators will test whether a community co-developed, tailored quit-smoking program featuring exposures to African American-specific tobacco industry documents and media exercises in addition to proven individual quitting strategies can increase the number of people who quit smoking at six months and one year, as compared with usual care.
