Abstract
Objective: To evaluate 3-month tobacco quit rates of young adult tobacco users randomized to 2 intervention conditions. Methods: Overall 192 non-treatment-seeking 18-to-24-year-old tobacco users received educational information and advice to quit smoking. Participants were then block randomized to 2 brief intervention conditions: (1) a telephone quitline (TQ) N=90; or (2) a brief direct treatment intervention (BDTI) N=102. Results: A 90-day followup evaluation found that 19.6% of BDTI and 10.2% of TQ participants reported 30-day point prevalence tobacco quit rates (chisquare = 2.37, P=.09). Conclusions: BDTI can help non-treatmentseeking, low SES, young adult tobacco users quit smoking.
