Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study, a pilot phase will be carried out first to test feasibility and engagement of the tested intervention. Then in the randomized control trial, subjects will be randomly assigned to receive one of two treatments: (1) a standard smartphone application to support smokers working to become quit-free, or (2) the tested intervention, an app that trains mindfulness for smoking cessation. The primary endpoint of interest will be 1-week point prevalence abstinence at end of treatment, and at 3 and 6 months follow-up for individuals.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Active Comparator App/Training

This is a standard smoking cessation smartphone app using the latest evidence-based smoking cessation methods and behavior change theory. Subjects will be encouraged to set a quit date of 3 weeks, to allow comparison to experimental arm quit date.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Active Comparator App/Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This is a free smoking cessation smartphone app using the latest evidence-based smoking cessation methods and behavior change theory. The app allows users to set a quit date, financial goals, and reminders, track daily smoking habits with an easy-to-use calendar, see graphs tracking money saved and number of packs not smoked, receive health milestones and craving tips to stay motivated, connect with social networks to give milestone updates, create a video diary, and watch personalized video messages from loved ones

Experimental App/Training

This is a 3-week smartphone-based training program that trains mindfulness for smoking cessation by helping smokers self-monitor their smoking habits, recognize when and how often they smoke, identify triggers for smoking, and learn methods to become more mindful of triggers, to quit smoking with a target quit date of 3 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental App/Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

It is comprised of twenty-two modules of 10-15 minutes each, designed to teach mindfulness for smoking cessation using psychoeducation-based audio and videos, animations to reinforce key concepts, and in vivo exercises. In addition, 5 bonus modules become available upon completion of earlier modules; these may be accessed for additional practices to bolster other modules.
