Detailed Description

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

In this 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 behavioral strategies 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.

Experimental App

This is a 3-week smartphone-based training program that trains behavioral strategies 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

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

It is comprised of twenty-two modules of 10-15 minutes each, designed to teach behavioral strategies 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

Active comparator app

This is a 3-week smartphone application for smoking cessation in which smokers self-monitor their smoking habits, mood, and experience, to quit smoking with a target quit date of 3 weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Active Comparator App

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

It is comprised of 6 prompts per day asking individuals about their experience, behavior, and smoking habits, for 22-days.
