Empowering Cessation ACS South Region

All participants (N=400) will receive remotely-delivered smoking cessation support comprised of the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) free smoking cessation app and 12 weeks of mailed over-the-counter NRT (nicotine patches, gum or lozenges).. While receiving smoking cessation support, participants in the intervention group (n=200) will also engage in SGM-serving online volunteer activities (≥4 weekly sessions lasting \~1.5 hours each), the protocols for which will be developed in Phase 1 to address the needs of OK, AR, and TX communities. Volunteer sessions will be facilitated by an SGM culturally-competent facilitator employed by the research team (i.e., community partner organizations will not run volunteer sessions). The intervention group will also be added to a digital hub (i.e., a private Reddit group) for 12 weeks to foster social support and exchange of ideas between participants/community partners across the three states.
