Project Description
mHealth Messaging to Motivate Quitline Use and Quitting (M2Q2), is a collaborative research project for a mobile health intervention designed to motivate smoking cessation and encourage access to counseling, and targeted to men and women smokers in Vietnam's Red River Delta region, a largely rural area. In Vietnam, currently over 50% of men (and 2% of women) smoke combustible cigarette products. Although quitlines have been initiated, they are underused. Our goal in this proposal is to increase use of the quitline, increasing access to counseling services, nicotine replacement therapy, with the goal of promoting cessation among current tobacco users.
