Evaluating the Impact of CONNECT in a Multilingual Population

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Culturally adapt, translate, improve and fine tune the multi-faceted CONNECT program for multilingual smokers II. Evaluate the CONNECT multilingual program for current smokers in multilingual communities. III. Assess the impact of the CONNECT Multilingual program on smoking cessation rates and participant utilization of evidence-based resources to help quit smoking OUTLINE: FOCUS GROUP (N=24): Three focus groups, one each with English, Spanish and Cantonese speaking participants (8 in each group) will be led by investigators. Interviews will be recorded, transcribed and translated. Translation of the Spanish and Cantonese transcripts will be done by University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) translation services. BETA GROUP (N=15): The investigators will conduct a pilot, beta testing of the intervention materials with English, Spanish and Cantonese speaking participants. Additional feedback and input from the participants will be used to fine tune the CONNECT smoking cessation intervention to be implemented in a randomized trial. RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL (N=400): Newly enrolled participants will be assigned to 1 of 2 conditions. * Group 1: Participants receive the CONNECT Multilingual intervention. Participants will be followed up at 1-week, 1-, 3-, and 6-months after treatment assignment. At 6-months, participants will be asked to complete and return an at-home saliva kit to verify their smoking status. * Group 2: Participants receive usual care from providers at a regular primary care appointment. Participants will be followed up at 1-week, 1-, 3-, and 6-months after treatment assignment.
