Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Through a smartphone platform, financial incentives for smoking abstinence in postpartum women can be delivered remotely, thus minimizing the need for participants to come to the office to receive traditional contingency management.

Detailed Description

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

The specific aims of the proposal are:

1. To develop through a 15-month pilot study, a novel smartphone-based system, Momba Smoking, that can be used in further relapse prevention trials for postpartum smokers.
2. To determine, through a pilot randomized controlled trial, the potential feasibility, acceptability, and methodological parameters that are necessary to design a subsequent, appropriately powered, randomized controlled trial of the Momba Smoking smartphone-based system.
3. To advance discovery and understanding on the use of technology to translate smoking cessation interventions from clinical to community settings through the training of the next generation of scientists.

MoMba Contingency Management

Study will provide access to the web-based MoMba Live Long application \& Sensodrone™ carbon-monoxide sensor for purposes of researching the acceptability of the smartphone application, operating and functioning of it, and providing remote contingency management for smoking cessation to postpartum women.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

MoMba Live Long app & Sensordrone™ carbon-monoxide sensor

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

MoMba Live Long application \& Sensordrone™ carbon-monoxide sensor to deliver contingency management remotely

Sensordrone™ carbon-monoxide sensor

Intervention Type DEVICE

A custom breath CO meter built by Sensorcon Inc. (Sensordrone, part No. SDRONEG1) that uses an electrochemical CO gas sensor to measure environmental CO. The Sensordrone is accurate to within 10% with a resolution of 1 parts per million (ppm). The Sensordrone pairs via Bluetooth with the MoMba Live Long application.

MoMba Live Long Smartphone application

Intervention Type DEVICE

The MoMba Live Long app provides an interface for the Sensordrone which allows participants to complete a breath test and see results of smoking status. The app verifies the user is correctly taking the tests by recording pictures using the front facing camera as well as recording audio to verify that the participants where exhaling while taking the test. The app also provided a platform for social interaction based on a previous system where app users can interact with each other and provide support during the quitting process.

Office contingency management

Traditional contingency management with financial incentives delivered in-person in the office for smoking cessation to postpartum women

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Office contingency management

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A control group which will receive financial incentives at an in-person office/clinic visit based on expired CO levels obtained through the piCO sensor.

Sensordrone™ carbon-monoxide sensor

Intervention Type DEVICE
