Predictors of Smoking Cessation in a Lifestyle-Focused Text-MessageSupport Programme Delivered to People with Coronary Heart Disease: An AnalysisFrom the Tobacco Exercise and Diet Messages (TEXTME) Randomised ClinicalTrial

摘要

Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of text message-based preventionprograms on smoking cessation, including our recently published TEXTMErandomised controlled trial. However, little is known about the predictorsof smoking cessation in this context and if other clinically importantfactors interact with the program to lead to quitting. Hence, the objectiveof this study was to first assess the predictors of smoking cessation inTEXTME and then determine if the effect of texting on quitting was modifiedby interactions with important clinical variables. This will allow us tobetter understand how text messaging works and thus help optimise futuretext-message based prevention programs.
