Abstract

According to the CDC, 17.8% of people in the United States are current smokers. 23.4% of Ohioans smoke cigarettes daily, which is significantly greater than the national average. In the clinical setting where the project took place, approximately one third of patients who came into the office stated they were active smokers. Review of evidence suggests that text message-based smoking cessation interventions are an effective means of smoking cessation. This project sought to answer the PICOT question: (P) In current smokers aged 18-65 in a privately-owned family practice in a large urban city in southwest Ohio (I) will using SmokefreeTXT text-messaging service, or SmokefreeTXT in conjunction with NRT (C) compared to patients who do not wish to stop smoking (O) increase smoking cessation rates (T) over the course of the six-week intervention duration? The Stetler Model of Research Utilization was used to guide the implementation of the project.
