Official title
Developing and Scaling a Text Messaging Tool to Help Pregnant Smokers
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness (Phase II) of a text-based program to be called Quit4Baby to support smoking cessation efforts of pregnant women who smoke. In Phase II, Dr. Abroms will conduct a randomized clinical trial among 500 pregnant smokers who have been recruited from users of text4baby - the first large scale mobile health application in the United States. Developed and operated by Voxiva and Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies (HMHB)-collaborators in this program -text4baby is a free national service that has enrolled more than 800,000 pregnant women and mothers of infants 0-1 nationwide and delivered more than 150 million health messages to them including messages encouraging them not to smoke during pregnancy and referring them to quit lines. Hypothesis 1: Pregnant smokers who receive quit4Baby + text4Baby will demonstrate higher levels of knowledge about the dangers of second hand smoke and the benefits of smoking cessation for mothers and their infants than text4baby only users. Hypothesis 2: Pregnant smokers who receive quit4baby + text4baby will report significantly higher rates of calling a quit line, discussions with their health provider and/or use of cessation counseling than those who receive Text4baby alone. Hypothesis 3: Pregnant smokers who receive quit4baby + text4baby will have significantly more favorable quitting outcomes compared with text4baby alone.
