Title: A Culturally Targeted and Individually Tailored Smoking Cessation Intervention for LGBT Smokers
Brief Summary: For the approximately 4.6 million LGBT persons in the U.S., smoking rates among those living in urban areas are roughly twice that of heterosexuals. Targeted interventions have shown great promise in reducing health risk behaviors across a variety of behaviors and population groups by enhancing the relevance of the health information. The primary aim of this study is to test the efficacy of a culturally targeted group-based smoking cessation intervention (vs. a non-targeted intervention) on smoking outcomes among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) smokers. The investigators anticipate that the culturally targeted intervention will be more effective at helping LGBT smokers to successfully stop smoking than will the non-targeted intervention.
