Examining a Smoking Cessation Program: The Impact of a Modified Motivational Interviewing Consultation Approach
Sponsor: Mohammed Al-Hammouri
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a Modified Motivational Interviewing (MMI) program can help university students quit smoking. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the MMI program reduce physical nicotine dependence and increase motivation to quit smoking. Does the MMI program improve students' confidence and perceived importance regarding quitting smoking. Researchers will compare a group receiving the MMI intervention to a control group (who receive no initial intervention) to see if the video-based program is an effective and cost-saving way to treat smoking behavior. Participants will: Complete self-report surveys about their smoking habits and feelings toward quitting at the start of the study, after 8 weeks, and 3 months later. Record two 15-minute videos per week for the first 2 weeks using a mobile phone or similar device. Record one 15-minute video per week for the next 2 weeks. Record one 15-minute video every 2 weeks for the final 4 weeks. Receive individualized feedback from researchers on the content of their videos to help guide their "change talk".Have the option to share their videos with other students in the program through a private, virtual online thread.

Interventions
Modified Motivational Interviewing
The Modified Motivational Interviewing (MMI) intervention is a self-administered, video-based program that replaces traditional, costly practitioner-led counseling. Distinguishing Features: Participant-Led "Change Talk": Students record 15-minute videos on their mobile devices focusing on four categories: advantages of quitting, optimism for change, intention to change, and status quo disadvantages. Asynchronous Feedback: Researchers provide individualized content feedback, ensuring each video meets behavioral criteria before the next is recorded. Tapered Schedule: To foster independence, frequency decreases over 8 weeks: 2 videos/week (weeks 1-2), 1 video/week (weeks 3-4), and 1 video every 2 weeks (weeks 5-8).Peer Support: Includes an optional private virtual thread for participants to share videos with others in the intervention arm.
