“…Sims et al, 2013), which were higher than the control group with a self-help booklet-based treatment group. Similarly, Zanis et al (2011) tested the quit line intervention as a control group compared to the in-person counseling, and it resulted in a 10.2% self-reported 30-day quit rate at 3-month follow-up; brief direct counseling resulted in 19.8% quit rates in the intervention group.…”

Introduction: Young adulthood is an important period for smoking cessation; however, there is limited evidence of smoking-cessation interventions for young adults. The aims of this study were to identify evidence-based smoking-cessation strategies for young adults, examine gaps in the literature regarding smoking cessation among young adults, and discuss methodological issues/challenges related to smoking-cessation studies for young adults. Methods: Studies tested interventions for smoking cessation among young adults (18 to 26 years old), excluding pilot studies. Five main search engines were used, including PubMed, the Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Web of Science. The search was conducted for articles published from January 2009 to December 2019. Intervention characteristics and cessation outcomes were reviewed, and methodological quality was evaluated. Results: A total of 14 articles met inclusion criteria, including randomized controlled studies and repeated cross-sectional studies. Interventions included the following: text messaging (4/14, 28.6%), social media use (2/14, 14.3%), web-or app-based intervention (2/14, 14.3%), telephone counseling (1/14, 7.1%), in-person counseling (3/14, 21.4%), pharmacological (1/14, 7.1%), and self-help booklet (1/14, 7.1%). The intervention duration and frequency of contact with participants differed and yielded varied outcomes. Conclusions: Multiple interventions are used for young adults’ smoking cessation. Available literature is inconclusive about the type of intervention that is most effective for young adults. However, the following interventions showed promising results based on RCT studies: text-based, social media, phone call, booklet-based counseling, and pharmacological. Future studies must compare the relative effectiveness of these intervention modalities.

“…For social media interventions, messages were provided in the form of one post per day for 3 months [ 20 ], and one study provided one smoking-cessation counseling session per week [ 19 ]. For phone or virtual counseling, 4 to 10 calls were provided over intervals ranging from 4 weeks to 3 months [ 23 ]. The length and frequency of the two studies which relied on in-person interventions differed: one 5-min session versus four sessions of 20–30 min over 4 weeks [ 24 , 25 ].…”

Conclusions Multiple interventions have been examined to aid young adults in achieving smoking cessation. While several approaches seem promising, at the present time, the published literature is inconclusive about the type of intervention that is most effective for young adults. Future studies should compare the relative effectiveness of these intervention modalities.

“…There is some evidence that young adults will use quitlines,[31,32] which are universally available - though their effectiveness in this age group is unclear. [33] Quitlines are nevertheless a free and readily available intervention designed to allow access from persons in low-resource environments like community colleges.…”

Introduction Tobacco use among United States college-aged students remains higher than that of the national average. While a majority of public health literature has explained smoking programs and policies at traditional four-year colleges and universities, little research exists on programs and policies at two-year community colleges. It is important to understand such efforts at these institutions as they have vastly different infrastructures and enroll a more diverse and at-risk student body compared to traditional four-year colleges. Methods The role of community colleges in health efforts aimed at smoking was examined at four community colleges. Qualitative research methods included 18 interviews and four focus groups (N=55), document review, and direct environmental observation. Results Community colleges offered a limited number of smoking cessation and secondhand smoke prevention initiatives. All colleges provided cessation literature, though additional programming varied by college. Indoor and outdoor smoking policies existed on all campuses though enforcement was problematic. Little evidence was found that current program and policy approaches are based upon best practices or are being employed successfully. Conclusions Future tobacco control initiatives at community colleges need to require little infrastructure and minimal staffing, and be low cost. Cessation tools for students must be convenient, understandable, and accessible from multiple locations. Feasible approaches for future initiatives could include testing low cost technology such as Web Assisted Tobacco Interventions (WATI) and outside partnerships with community organizations and health agencies. Policy enforcement could be improved with tobacco policy education at orientation for students, faculty and staff.
