| Phase 1 Group A: Tobacco Quit-line (TQL) Group | Experimental | Participants will be referred to the TQL and will be followed up for up to 12 months. |
|
| Phase 1 Group B: Brief Behavioral Counseling Group | Experimental | Participants will receive one brief behavioral counseling session and two phone call follow-ups, then be followed up for 12 months. Besides the counseling session, they will be provided with Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and a referral to the TQL. For the NRT, participants will receive one box of Nicorette nicotine gums, 2 mg or 4 mg (depending on the number of cigarettes smoked), as well as 8 additional gums for a total of 168 gums during the counseling session. This amount is enough for 3 weeks. An additional 3-week supply will be provided at the second follow-up. |
|
| Phase 2 Group A: Second Tobacco Quit-line (TQL) Group | Experimental | Participants from Group A who did not quit smoking at the 3-month follow-up may receive a second referral to the TQL and will be followed up for up to 12 months. |
|
| Phase 2 Group B: Second Brief Behavioral Counseling Group | Experimental | Participants from Group B who did not quit smoking at the 3-month follow-up may receive a second brief behavioral counseling session and two phone call follow-ups, then be followed up for 12 months. Besides the counseling session, they will be provided with Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and a second referral to the TQL. For the NRT, participants will receive one box of Nicorette nicotine gums, 2 mg or 4 mg (depending on the number of cigarettes smoked), as well as 8 additional gums for a total of 168 gums during the counseling session. This amount is enough for 3 weeks. An additional 3-week supply is provided at the second follow-up. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nicorette | Drug | Participants will receive a 6-week supply of nicotine replacement treatment (NRT). Based on participants' self-report on the number of cigarettes smoked, these are the possible dosages of NRT gum (2 mg and 4 mg). Participants should not smoke and use the nicotine gum at the same time. Nicotine gum should only be used when cravings for cigarettes arise and should not be treated like regular chewing gum. It is not to be constantly chewed NRT will be distributed based on the treatment condition. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Program Effectiveness Measure in Percentage | Will be collected as the difference in percentage of participants who quit smoking at the 12-month follow-up assessment between the three treatment groups. | Up to 4 years |
| Program Cost-Effectiveness Measured by Number of U.S Dollars | Will be measured as the difference in the number of U.S. dollars between the three programs. | Up to 4 years |
| Program Cost-Effectiveness Measured by Quality Adjusted Life Years | Will be measured by quality-adjusted life years defined as the difference in the number of years lived in perfect health between the three programs. | Up to 4 years |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Program's Implementation- Acceptability Measured by Likert Scale | Using the Acceptability of Intervention Measure, acceptability will be scored on a 5-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating greater acceptability. | Up to 4 years |
| Program's Implementation- Feasibility Measured by Likert Scale |

| Phase 2 Group A + C: TQL and Intensive Behavioral Counseling Group | Experimental | Participants from Phase 1 Group A who did not quit smoking at the 3-month follow-up may receive four behavioral counseling sessions, two phone-call follow-ups, and Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and be followed up for 12 months. For the NRT, participants will receive one box of Nicorette nicotine gums, 2 mg or 4 mg (depending on the number of cigarettes smoked), as well as 8 additional gums for a total of 168 gums during the first counseling session. This amount is enough for 3 weeks. An additional 3-week supply is provided at the fourth session. |

| Tobacco Quit-line | Behavioral | The TQL is free, and the TQL counselor will provide three phone counseling sessions lasting approximately 15 minutes to devise a specific plan to quit smoking and arrange the delivery of 4 to 12 weeks of NRT based on need. Participants will be advised to request nicotine gums instead of patches to accommodate their job circumstances. |
|
| Brief Behavioral Counseling | Behavioral | The counseling session will discuss preparing to quit, coping with job-related stress, getting social support, the "5A's" for preventing relapse (Avoid, Alter, Alternatives, Anticipate, and Active), proper use of NRT, and last approximately 30 minutes. |
|
| Intensive Behavioral Counseling | Behavioral | Participants will receive four weekly counseling sessions which include information about how to quit, challenges, and short and long-term relapse prevention. Each session will last approximately 20 minutes. |
|
Using the Feasibility of Intervention Measure, feasibility will be scored on a 5-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating greater feasibility. |
| Up to 4 years |
| Program's Implementation- Sustainability Measured by Likert Scale | Using the Intervention Sustainability Assessment Tool, sustainability will be scored on a 7-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating greater sustainability. | Up to 4 years |
