PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Establish a theoretical framework for cessation among homeless youth incorporating phase-specific capabilities and opportunities impacting motivation to engage in cessation. (Multiphase Optimization STrategy \[MOST\] Step 1) II. Guided by the theoretical framework for cessation among homeless youth, identify a set of cessation intervention components and assess their implementation feasibility. (MOST Step 2)
OUTLINE:
MOST STEP Ia: Participants attend a semi-structured interview over 60 minutes to help establish theoretical model of contextually tailored smoking cessation for homeless youth.
MOST STEP Ib: Participants complete a survey to help establish theoretical model of contextually tailored smoking cessation for homeless youth.
MOST STEP II (FOCUS GROUPS): Participants attend focus groups to help identify a set of cessation intervention components for homeless youth and determine component acceptability and feasibility.
MOST STEP II (FEASIBILITY STUDY): Intervention components are identified and selected from Focus Groups. Participants take part in a study to assess these components for feasibility in implementing in coordination with homeless youth services, as well as determining main effect estimates for future studies.
