What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying smoking cessation among homeless youth aged 14 to 24 years who smoke cigarettes. The study aims to develop a tailored and optimized program to help homeless young people stop smoking by understanding their motivations to smoke and to quit. This research involves creating a theoretical framework that considers the unique challenges and opportunities faced by homeless youth in quitting smoking. The study includes multiple steps: a one-hour semi-structured interview and a survey to build the theoretical model, focus groups to identify and assess possible intervention components, and a feasibility study to evaluate how these components can be implemented alongside homeless youth services. All steps focus on behavioral and other related interventions designed specifically for this population. Participants will be involved in interviews, surveys, focus groups, and a feasibility study over a period of up to three years. Researchers will assess participants' psychological and physical capacity as well as physical and social factors influencing their ability to quit smoking. The study tracks these outcomes to guide future smoking cessation programs for homeless youth and monitors feasibility and acceptability of the interventions.
