Program Overview
Tweet2Quit uses automated daily tweets and feedback with content aligned with current guidelines for tobacco smoking cessation to promote smoking cessation and encourage community engagement.
Tweet2Quit is a fully automated intervention that encourages engagement among a private group of smokers who wish to quit. Interested smokers are invited to join the private group on Twitter, encouraged to set a quit date within their first week in the group, and receive nicotine patches. Daily automated Tweets encourage discussion of evidence-based treatment and community building. Tweets offer emotional support and promote sharing smoking history, identification of rewards for quitting, identification of triggers and obstacles to quitting, sharing of strategies to overcome obstacles to quitting, and discussion of confidence in participants ability to quit.
