The investigators propose to recruit patients who have experienced a recent first episode of psychosis who have a chart diagnosis of Schizophrenia, Schizophrenifom, Schizoaffective Disorder, Psychosis NOS, or Bipolar I Disorder with psychotic features and self identify themselves as a current cigarette smoker. Aiding this population with smoking cessation is crucial as the majority of people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (50-90%) smoke, which is leading to early mortality. While these individuals can benefit from standard evidence-based treatment, these treatments are underutilized. Web based programs, such as the EDSS and thetruth.com, can provide education and motivational tools to help people with a recent onset of psychosis use evidence-based smoking cessation treatments. This study aims to test these two web-based programs among young people with a recent episode of psychosis for usability and likeability and to explore whether use of these two programs will motivate users to seek smoking cessation treatment or to engage in other quitting behaviors in the month following use of the programs. Information gathered from this proposal will be used to help the researchers decide whether either of these two programs will be reasonable to include in a larger study of a comprehensive treatment for individuals with first episode psychosis.

| Electronic Decision Support System | Experimental | The Electronic Decision Support System (EDSS) is a 5-module computer program aimed to assess, motivate, educate, solicit preferences, and provide feedback and referrals for people with severe mental illness. The program provides: a) a personalized assessment of the individual's smoking, b) information to improve knowledge of smoking risks and treatment benefits, c) interactive exercises to personalize the impact of smoking, improve attitudes about quitting, and increase self-efficacy for seeking smoking cessation treatment, and d) a video patient vignette to develop social norms for smoking cessation treatment and increase self-efficacy. Usability testing among people with severe mental illness established that the system was comprehensible, easy to use, and took 30-90 minutes to complete. |
