A Text Messaging-Based Smoking Cessation Program for Adult Smokers

Methods
This study was a small-scale, parallel-group randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted in
Ankara, Turkey. Participants were adult daily smokers who were seriously thinking about
quitting in the next 15 days and living in Ankara, Turkey. The text messaging intervention, SMS
Turkey, provided 6 weeks of daily messages aimed at giving participants skills to help them quit
smoking. Messages were sent in an automated fashion, except 2 days and 7 days after the initial
quit day. On days 2 and 7, the research assistant manually assigned participants to content
paths based on whether they were still not smoking or had relapsed. The control arm received a
brochure that provided similar information about smoking cessation. The main outcome measure

was self-reported 3-month sustained abstinence, verified by carbon monoxide (CO) readings.
Neither participants nor researchers were blinded to arm assignment.
