Summary

Cigarette smoking remains one of the leading causes of preventable death. Effective smoking cessation medications exist but use of these treatments is low, making it difficult for most to quit smoking. Behavioral interventions are needed to engage current smokers in the process of quitting smoking and promote the use of evidence-based cessation medications. At the same time, genetics influences one's smoking behaviors (e.g., how much they smoke, difficulty quitting) and risk of smoking-related diseases, yet these personalized factors have not been included in existing behavioral interventions. Incorporating these individualized factors into smoking cessation interventions may make them more personally engaging and thus motivating for treatment. This study will pilot test a risk communication tool that is personalized to one's genetics and will demonstrate the feasibility of a larger trial to test the effect of this personalized genetically-informed intervention on smoking cessation.

Conditions

• Tobacco Use Disorder
• Smoking Cessation
• Tobacco Use Cessation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Genetically-Informed RiskProfile	* Participants will meet with a behavioral interventionist to receive their personalized genetically-informed RiskProfile intervention which incorporates smoking-related genetic risk propensity and phenotypic risk (cigarettes smoked per day) into a risk communication tool designed to activate behavior change, specifically, to increase the use of smoking cessation medications and promote smoking-related behavior change. * This is a fully remote trial, with intervention delivered via video conferencing.
OTHER	Brief Cessation Advice	* Participants will meet with a behavioral interventionist to receive standardized brief advice to quit smoking and encouragement to use freely-available smoking cessation resources. Participants will receive their personalized RiskProfile after all data collection has been completed. * This is a fully remote trial, with brief cessation advice delivered via video conferencing.
