“…Some have reported that a tailored intervention would be well received by the LGBT community. Schwappach (2009) surveyed gay men about their perspective on a tailored smoking intervention and many reported they would likely use such an intervention as it would offer the opportunity to refrain from smoking without refraining from social activities. Indeed a tailored program may increase one's comfort level, thus increasing the likelihood of an LGBT smoker attending the treatment sessions and reducing dropout after treatment has begun.…”

“…27 Gay men in Switzerland reported support for gay specific smoking cessation interventions, particularly to derive support for stopping smoking while still continuing to engage in gay social circles. 10 CRUSH is an example of an LGBT specific intervention that promotes a tobacco-free lifestyle using a population-level approach.…”

“…6 Currently, there are few interventions geared toward the LGBT community, and those that exist primarily focus on individual smoking cessation programs. [7][8][9][10] Few community-level interventions target the social norms around smoking in the LGBT community. In a study conducted by Remafedi, one third of LGBT youth reported that they did not know an LGBT person who did not smoke.…”

Introduction: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals are more likely to smoke than the general population. This study evaluated a Social Branding intervention, CRUSH, which included an aspirational brand, social events, and targeted media to discourage smoking among LGBT young adults in Las Vegas, NV. Methods: Cross-sectional surveys (N = 2,395) were collected in Las Vegas LGBT bars at 2 time points 1 year apart. Multivariate logistic regressions examined associations between campaign exposure, message understanding, and current (past 30 days) smoking, controlling for demographics. Results:LGBT individuals were significantly more likely to report current (past 30 day) smoking than heterosexual/straight, gender-conforming participants. Overall, 53% of respondents reported exposure to CRUSH; of those exposed, 60% liked the campaign, 60.3% reported they would attend a CRUSH event on a night when they usually went somewhere else, and 86.3% correctly identified that the campaign was about "partying fresh and smokefree. " Current smoking was reported by 47% of respondents at Time 1 and 39.6% at Time 2. There were significant interactions between time and campaign exposure and campaign exposure and understanding the message. Among those who understood the CRUSH smokefree message, the highest level of campaign exposure was significantly associated with 37%-48% lower odds for current smoking. Conclusions: While longitudinal studies would better assess the impact of this intervention, CRUSH shows promise to reduce tobacco use among LGBT bar patrons.

“…18 Targeted cessation services may be needed, as some stressors are unique to LGBT lives (e.g., accepting one’s LGBT identity, prejudice against LGBT people), some cues to smoke may be unique to LGBT lives (e.g., not being accepted by family), and tobacco use may be used to rebel against or promote particular gender identities. 5,19,20 At the population level, the strength of state tobacco programs may play a role in LGBT tobacco cessation, 21 and there is worrisome evidence that certain evidence-based tobacco interventions may even exacerbate disparities for vulnerable populations.…”

Context Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people are at increased risk for the adverse effects of tobacco use given their high prevalence of use, especially smoking. Evidence regarding cessation is limited. To determine if efficacious interventions are available and to aid the development of interventions, a systematic review was conducted of gray and peer-reviewed literature describing clinical, community, and policy interventions as well as knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding tobacco use cessation among LGBT people. Evidence acquisition Eight databases for articles from 1987 to April 23, 2014 were searched. In February–November 2013, authors and researchers were contacted to identify gray literature. Evidence synthesis The search identified 57 records, of which 51 were relevant and 22 were from the gray literature; these were abstracted into evidence tables, and a narrative synthesis was conducted in October–May 2014. Group cessation curricula tailored for LGBT populations were found feasible to implement and show evidence of effectiveness. Community interventions have been implemented by and for LGBT communities; although these interventions showed feasibility, no rigorous outcome evaluations exist. Clinical interventions show little difference between LGBT and heterosexual people. Focus groups suggest that care is needed in selecting messaging used in media campaigns. Conclusions LGBT-serving organizations should implement existing evidence-based tobacco dependence treatment and clinical systems to support treatment of tobacco use. A clear commitment from government and funders is needed to investigate whether sexual orientation and gender identity moderate the impacts of policy interventions, media campaigns, and clinical interventions.
