Summary

The goal of this usability study is to pilot test the recruitment procedures, data acquisition methods, and text message program integration required to support the planning of a future clinical trial. Approximately 15 smokers who are patients of the Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine (BUGSDM) patient treatment center and have an upcoming dental prophylaxis or scaling and root planing (henceforth referred to as 'teeth cleaning') appointment will be recruited. During the dental cleaning, participants will watch a brief educational video that provides guidance and advice on smoking cessation. At the end of the dental appointment, participants will complete a survey about their experience watching the video and their attitudes towards smoking cessation. Participants will also receive other smoking cessation resources with instructions on how to access the services. Participants will then use the one-month text message program developed by the investigators to motivate and facilitate contact with the smoking cessation resources. At the end of the one-month text message program, participants will complete a survey about their experience during the text message program, their smoking habits, and attitudes towards smoking cessation. The duration of the study will be approximately six-weeks.
