Abstract	Objective: To test the feasibility of a university health center-delivered smoking cessation intervention that adds a 6-week course of text messaging to brief advice and nicotine patch therapy. Participants: Young adult cigarette smokers (n = 40) from 2 universities from January 2015 to May 2016. Methods: Randomized controlled trial comparing brief advice, nicotine patch therapy and: (1) a 6-week text messaging intervention (n = 20); or (2) no text messaging (n = 20). Primary outcomes included enrollment, retention and satisfaction. Results: Forty participants enrolled (38% of those screened). Retention rates were 98% and 92.5% at 6 and 12 weeks. Of those who completed the text intervention (n = 16), 64.3% felt the texts were "helpful", however they reported desire for tailoring and concern that texts triggered smoking. Biochemically confirmed abstinence rates did not significantly differ between text and control arms. Conclusions: These feasibility data suggest that text messaging may need to be modified to better engage and motivate college-age smokers. (As Provided).
