Brief Summary:
Among all racialethnic 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
The specific aims of the project are to
1 test using statistics how well an innovative community-based culturally tailored quit-smoking program for African Americans works at 6 and 12 months
2 test selected variables for how well they predict who will return to smoking
3 use interviews to identify additional individual andor community factors associated with successful quitting or relapse and
4 collect information to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the CARA project collaborative efforts in developing and sustaining the project over time enhancing community awareness of tobacco issues and creation or enhancement of community tobacco control resources
