Abstract

Objective: Quit & Win contests are a community-based tobacco cessation strategy that has demonstrated success in supporting tobacco cessation efforts in the general population. However, such contests have not been implemented and evaluated among people living with mental illnesses (MIs). This pilot study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of implementing Quit & Win contests in terms of program delivery, engagement, and cessation outcomes among people with MIs.

Methods: A single-group posttest design to evaluate the feasibility of Quit & Win contests conducted at three community mental health programs.

Results: Flyers introducing the contest were posted at study sites 2 weeks prior to recruitment. Recruitment occurred on 2 days over a 2-week period. Eligible participants received a pamphlet with information about tobacco treatment resources. At the follow-up, postsurveys and expired CO levels were obtained. Participants (N = 28) were mostly male, Non-Hispanic White, with a high school or higher education, unemployed, and 46.4% had a primary substance use disorder diagnosis. Among those who engaged in the program, seven (25.0%) returned for the follow-up, of which three (42.9%) successfully stopped cigarette use. Four (57.1%) described using nicotine replacement therapy in their attempt to stop using cigarettes. Challenges to cessation included difficulty finding available tobacco treatment programs, limited access to treatment medications, and experiencing nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

Conclusions: Our findings suggest the feasibility of Quit & Win interventions in community mental health settings. Further efforts are required to enhance recruitment, engagement, and retention, and to support access to community-based tobacco treatment resources.
