Scope

This project, funded with a K23 career development award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse is developing and testing in a randomized clinical trial the efficacy of a Facebook-based smoking cessation intervention for young adults.

What we did

This trial will randomize 480 young adults to receive the intervention or a control condition and measure effects on smoking outcomes up to one year after a baseline assessment.

Implications

This is the first study testing the efficacy of an intervention entirely conducted on Facebook to help young adults quit smoking.
