- Intervention
- description
- The intervention entitled Motivating Pacifika Against Cigarettes and Tobacco (MPACT) was implemented for eight weeks starting on the quit date that the participant chose with their assigned coach during the baseline assessment. At the baseline assessment, each participant watched an introductory video that described the online smoking cessation program. The online program was accessed through the participant's Facebook account. The program included eight education modules and a forum. Participants also received automated daily text messages to provide support and encouragement during the quitting process.

- Control
- description
- Participants in the control group set a quit date within two weeks of their baseline assessment and watched an introductory video that described the smoking cessation program. They received one text message every other week over a period of eight weeks following the quit date. The messages were delivered by a web-based system not connected to the online intervention program. Participants were also given a handout listing local tobacco cessation and education resources, a link to a generic online smoking cessation program, a fact sheet on smoking and tobacco use among PI young adults, and a quit kit containing chewing gum and a stress ball.
