“It Took Me on a Journey Other Than Just to Stop Smoking”: Pilot Trial Outcomes of an Empowerment Theory-Based Smoking Cessation Intervention for Sexual and/or Gender Minoritized People in Oklahoma
This study adds to the literature on culturally tailored smoking cessation interventions as the first tobacco intervention tailored for SGM people in high-stigma environments. It used a novel application of ET to advance SGM smoking cessation and resilience in the face of minority stress. Findings from this pilot study in Oklahoma indicate promising feasibility and acceptability and will inform future interventions to address tobacco use disparities among SGM people in high-stigma environments.
