Empowering safety managers to champion the implementation of smoking cessation services in the construction industry: Protocol for a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial.

ABSTRACT: US construction workers (CWs) have the highest cigarette smoking rate among all occupations (27.2% vs. 15%), yet the lowest coverage of workplace smoking cessation services (14% vs. 29%). This study aims to empower safety managers to implement smoking cessation services in the construction industry. Using participatory research methods, this study aims to: 1) Develop multilevel strategies (MLIs) to implement adaptive smoking cessation programs delivered by the safety manager on construction sites, and 2) conduct a cluster-randomized, hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation, 2-phase sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) to test the programs (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06098144). The MLIs include: 1) creating the outer setting (research investigators, stakeholders) and inner
