Mobile health (mHealth) interventions, using text messages to support high-school pupils to quit smoking, could be a novel and cost-effective approach. However, more research is needed, specifically to investigate long-term effectiveness. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly developed mHealth intervention targeting smoking cessation among high-school pupils.
The study is a two-arm, randomized controlled trial with an intervention group (mHealth intervention) and a control group (treatment as usual: national smoking cessation help line). Outcome measures will be investigated at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months' follow-up. Primary outcome measures will be: prolonged abstinence and 4-week point prevalence of smoking abstinence. Secondary outcome measures will be: 7-day point prevalence of smoking abstinence; mean number of quit attempts since taking part in the study; number of uses of other smoking cessation services since first invitation to the study and number of cigarettes smoked weekly if still smoking.
High schools in Sweden are bound by law to offer a smoke-free environment. However, little effort has been made to offer support to pupils who wish to quit smoking; rather the emphasis is on prevention of uptake. The study will examine the effectiveness of a stand-alone mHealth intervention targeting smokers among high-school pupils.
The trial was not retrospectively registered and has been registered at ISRCTN with the unique identification number ISRCTN15396225 . The trial was registered on 13 October 2017.
移动健康（mHealth）干预措施，即通过短信支持高中生戒烟，可能是一种新颖且具成本效益的方法。然而，还需要更多研究，特别是要调查其长期有效性。本研究旨在评估一种新开发的针对高中生戒烟的移动健康干预措施的有效性。
本研究为双臂随机对照试验，设有干预组（移动健康干预）和对照组（常规治疗：国家戒烟帮助热线）。将在基线以及随访3个月、6个月和12个月时对结果指标进行调查。主要结果指标将包括：延长戒烟期以及戒烟4周的时点患病率。次要结果指标将包括：戒烟7天的时点患病率；自参与研究以来的平均戒烟尝试次数；自首次受邀参加研究以来使用其他戒烟服务的次数，以及如果仍在吸烟则每周吸烟的数量。
瑞典的高中受法律约束必须提供无烟环境。然而，在为希望戒烟的学生提供支持方面做得很少；相反，重点在于预防吸烟。本研究将考察一种针对高中生吸烟者的独立移动健康干预措施的有效性。
该试验未进行回顾性注册，已在国际标准随机对照试验编号注册库（ISRCTN）注册，唯一识别号为ISRCTN15396225。该试验于2017年10月13日注册。
