Empowering LGBTQ+ Tobacco Cessation Pilot

Participants will receive standard Tobacco Treatment Research Program (TTRP) tobacco cessation assistance either remotely or in-person: 6 weekly counseling sessions and 12 weeks of combination NRT (nicotine patches + nicotine gum or lozenges). During the 6 weeks of counseling, participants will also engage in at least 4 'empowerment activities' (i.e., SGM social change mobilization and community-building activities48) for a total of at least 8 hours. Activities will be tailored to each participant's comfort level and skills. Examples are compiling publicly-available information about school board meetings to support community members in participating in their school districts and making follow-up phone calls with a script to Freedom OK's name change clinic participants.
