The RealU: An online college life magazine to reduce cigarette use
The college years represent an opportunity to intervene to limit escalation in cigarette use and encourage early cessation. Working with the University of Minnesota's Boynton Student Health Service, the goal of this project was to test a web-based intervention to reduce cigarette smoking by UM Twin Cities undergraduates. Identified via internet health screening survey, individuals were invited to weekly wed sessions to (1) track their cigarette use, (2) take an interactive quiz to learn about their lifestyle and smoking habits, and (3) view an on-line college life magazine with general lifestyle and smoking related content. Outcomes include 7-day abstinence at weeks 6, 12, and 20 evaluation points and 30-day abstinence at week 20 (with carbon monoxide (CO) validation).
