Description
Charles E Hoogland leads a 2026 secondary analysis comparing in-person and online recruitment to a smoking cessation trial for adults facing food insecurity. Food insecurity means lacking steady access to enough food. Eligible adults had used food aid in the past thirty days, smoked at least five cigarettes a day, and were willing to try quitting within seven days. Baseline surveys were done on tablets in person or on personal devices after online adverts.
Online recruits reported deeper food insecurity, more schooling, and higher income, but lower motivation and confidence to quit, plus more loneliness and depressive symptoms. Online enrollment ran much faster, at 64.8 people per month against 7.7 in person, with 324 online enrollees against 178 in person. Eligible online recruits were also more likely to enroll, at seventy-one percent against forty-nine percent.
