The University of Oklahoma received a $100,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (CFDA 93.279 Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) to develop and pilot test an empowerment theory-based smoking cessation intervention for sexual and/or gender minority (SGM) individuals living in high-stigma environments. The project, titled "Developing an Empowerment Theory-Based Smoking Cessation Intervention for Sexual and/or Gender Minority People with Community Partners," aims to (1) use ecological momentary assessment to identify key factors supporting smoking cessation success among SGM adults, (2) collaboratively develop volunteer activity protocols with community partners to maximize these factors, and (3) conduct a randomized controlled trial of the intervention in Oklahoma and California. This multi-phased, community-engaged project lays the groundwork for a future, fully-powered multi-site trial evaluating the intervention's effectiveness.
