Researchers are studying whether culturally relevant text messages designed for the Hispanic/Latino community can encourage smokers to consider alternatives to cigarette smoking and reduce smoking-related health risks. As a part of this study you will receive text messages for 1 week, have access to a helpful website, and take part in a brief interview. The feedback participants provide may help improve future smoking cessation programs for Hispanic/Latino adults.

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Ages 21+
• Identify as Hispanic or Latino/a/x
• Smoke cigarettes for at least a year
• Made an attempt to quit smoking in the last year that lasted at least 24 hours

• If you choose to participate, you will first complete a brief screening phone call to determine eligibility. Eligible participants will then:

  • Complete a baseline questionnaire
  • Receive 4 text messages per day for 7 days
  • Have access to a helpful website with additional information
  • Complete a follow-up interview to share feedback about the text message program

  All study activities are completed virtually from home.

Participants who complete the study will receive $30 for their time. No transportation is required because the study is fully virtual and available to participants in all U.S. states and Puerto Rico.

There is no cost for you to participate in our research study.
