2.5. Control Condition Procedures
Participants in the control condition received a single booklet created specifically for BENIT and designed to encourage and facilitate ANBQ cessation. The booklet, entitled “Quitting Betel Nut”, included information about the health risks associated with ANBQ chewing as well as advice and strategies for quitting and maintaining ANBQ abstinence. Participants assigned to the control condition met with study staff three times: baseline, 22-day follow-up, and six-month follow-up. At baseline, participants were provided with the ANBQ cessation booklet, completed a baseline survey assessment, and provided a saliva sample. Participants also completed survey assessments and provided saliva samples at the 22-day and six-month follow-up sessions. Control condition participants received compensation for their time and specimen donation.
