Study Summary

Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, and there are persistent and significant disparities in tobacco use among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals. Stigma, discrimination, gender dysphoria, and other gender minority stressors likely contribute to these disparities, and the increased burden of gender minority stress may also be driving higher prevalence rates of anxiety and depression, both of which are more common among TGD individuals and among those who smoke relative to comparison samples. This study will (1) explore the ways in which gender minority stressors and associated anxiety and depression compromise smoking cessation among TGD individuals, identifying elements in an existing smoking cessation intervention that need to be adjusted to meet their unique needs; (2) adapt an existing smoking cessation intervention for TGD individuals; and (3) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the adapted intervention in a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Primary Outcome

Acceptability will be assessed via a questionnaire, completed after every other treatment session, that measures the 7 constructs of the acceptability of health care interventions framework: affective attitude, burden, ethicality, coherence, opportunity costs, perceived effectiveness, and self-efficacy. The intervention will be deemed acceptable if at least 75% of the participants rate 4+ items on the acceptability questionnaires with a 4 or a 5 on the Likert-style scale.
