Measure
Learn to Quit
A smartphone app developed by the research team designed for people with serious mental illness, that provides Acceptance and Commitment Therapy skills to address (a) smoking cessation and (b) mental health symptoms. This app intervention is combined with an 8-week course of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) patches and a 2-week course of NRT lozenges. Participants also receive technical smartphone coaching for the first 4 weeks of the study.

Timeframe: 1 month follow-up

Percent of subjects in each group reporting biochemically confirmed 7-day point prevalence abstinence. Abstinence is determined by a self-report of not smoking for 7 days prior to the specified timepoint AND by a result of ≤ 5 ppm in carbon monoxide breath testing. If the participant does not meet both criteria, they are not considered abstinent.

Population: A survey branching logic error led to incomplete data collection for this measure. Therefore, we could not collect data from all participants.

Total number of participants in each group reporting prolonged abstinence at the specified time point. Abstinence is determined by a self-report of not relapsing after their quit date (i.e., not smoking for 7 consecutive days, or not smoking at least once each week for 2 consecutive weeks) following a 2-week grace period, AND by a result of ≤ 6 ppm in carbon monoxide breath testing. If the participant does not meet both criteria, they are not considered abstinent.
