Abstract
Introduction: This trial investigated whether a Facebook smoking cessation intervention culturally tailored to young sexual and gender minority (SGM) smokers (versus non-tailored) would increase smoking abstinence.
Methods: Participants were 165 SGM young adult US smokers (age 18-25) recruited from Facebook in April 2018 and randomized to an SGM-tailored (POP; N = 84) or non-tailored (TSP-SGM; N = 81) intervention. Interventions delivered weekly live counseling sessions and 90 daily Facebook posts to participants in Facebook groups. Primary analyses compared POP and TSP-SGM on biochemically verified smoking abstinence (yes/no; primary outcome), self-reported 7-day point prevalence abstinence (yes/no), reduction in cigarettes per week by 50+% from baseline (yes/no), making a quit attempt during treatment (yes/no), and stage of change (precontemplation/contemplation vs. preparation/action). Supplemental analyses compared POP to two historical control groups.
Results: POP participants were more likely than TSP-SGM participants to report smoking abstinence at 3 (23.8% vs. 12.3%; OR = 2.50; p = .03) and 6 months (34.5% vs. 12.3%; OR = 4.06; p < .001) and reduction in smoking at 3 months (52.4% vs. 39.5%; OR = 2.11; p = .03). Biochemically verified smoking abstinence did not significantly differ between POP and TSP-SGM at 3 (OR = 2.00; p = .33) or 6 months (OR = 3.12; p = .08), potentially due to challenges with remote biochemical verification. In supplemental analyses, POP participants were more likely to report abstinence at 3 (OR = 6.82, p = .01) and 6 (OR = 2.75, p = .03) months and reduced smoking at 3 months (OR = 2.72, p = .01) than participants who received a referral to Smokefree.gov.
Conclusions: This pilot study provides preliminary support for the effectiveness of a Facebook smoking cessation intervention tailored to SGM young adults.
Implications: SGM individuals have disproportionately high smoking prevalence. It is unclear whether smoking cessation interventions culturally tailored to the SGM community are more effective than non-tailored interventions. This pilot trial found preliminary evidence that an SGM-tailored Facebook smoking cessation intervention increased reported abstinence from smoking, compared to a non-tailored intervention.
期刊介绍：
Designed Monomers and Polymers ( DMP) publishes prompt peer-reviewed papers and short topical reviews on all areas of macromolecular design and applications. Emphasis is placed on the preparations of new monomers, including characterization and applications. Experiments should be presented in sufficient detail (including specific observations, precautionary notes, use of new materials, techniques, and their possible problems) that they could be reproduced by any researcher wishing to repeat the work.
The journal also includes macromolecular design of polymeric materials (such as polymeric biomaterials, biomedical polymers, etc.) with medical applications.
DMP provides an interface between organic and polymer chemistries and aims to bridge the gap between monomer synthesis and the design of new polymers. Submssions are invited in the areas including, but not limited to:
-macromolecular science, initiators, macroinitiators for macromolecular design
-kinetics, mechanism and modelling aspects of polymerization
-new methods of synthesis of known monomers
-new monomers (must show evidence for polymerization, e.g. polycondensation, sequential combination, oxidative coupling, radiation, plasma polymerization)
-functional prepolymers of various architectures such as hyperbranched polymers, telechelic polymers, macromonomers, or dendrimers
-new polymeric materials with biomedical applications
