Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Contingency Management is a highly-effective, evidence based methodology demonstrated to be effective at reducing the use of all types of substances in over 100 randomized controlled trials and 7 meta-analyses. BrightView, an outpatient substance abuse treatment center with several locations across the state of Ohio, has partnered with DynamiCare Health to implement DynamiCare's innovative digital Contingency Management (CM) platform among BrightView's outpatient population of primarily low-income substance use disorder patients with comorbid nicotine dependence/tobacco use disorder.
DynamiCare's platform automates Contingency Management to support smoking cessation interventions via smartphone app. This app rewards participants for negative substance tests and appointment attendance (using GPS tracking) to incentivize abstinence and promote engagement in treatment.
The goal of this study is to reduce tobacco disparities for low-income adult participants using DynamiCare's digital intervention, and to build a rapidly scalable, sustainable process that makes the field of smoking cessation more effective, accountable, and accessible.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
While current treatment recommendations include counseling and nicotine replacement therapy, national average annual quit rates remain low at 7%. The quit rate of substance use disorder patients without smoking cessation interventions are as low as 3%, but one meta-analysis found that it increased to 12% with interventions that are incorporated into substance use programs. This demonstrates that strategic investments for this population can induce significant improvements in quit rates. In 2014, the CDC's recommended minimum annual investment for cessation interventions in Ohio was $35.7 million (their ideal investment was $57.7 million)-but the actual expenditures for cessation interventions in Ohio in 2015 were only $7.6 million. Although the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act increased coverage for tobacco cessation services nationwide, coverage of tobacco cessation counseling is lagging behind coverage of cessation medications. Barriers to access include copayments and prior authorizations. While the cost-effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions for the substance use disorder population is not well studied, we expect that it is cost-effective because, as mentioned previously, smoking cessation can help improve abstinence, which can further reduce healthcare costs. In addition, concomitant drug use and tobacco use have been found to increase health consequences by 50% compared to drug use and smoking individually.
Current tobacco cessation efforts at BrightView include nicotine replacement therapy and counseling, but quit success rates remain low. Staff are trained to provide patients with the multiple components of medication-assisted treatment (MAT), counseling, and community resources to combat both their addiction(s) and the complex biopsychosocial factors that contribute to them. Despite these resources, tobacco use remains a health problem for the majority patients. Many of them are unemployed and lack reliable transportation, face unstable housing, and have family histories or belong to communities wherein smoking is common and limited cessation services are available.
Contingency Management (CM) is a highly effective, evidence-based methodology. It has been demonstrated to be effective at reducing the use of all types of substances in over 100 randomized controlled trials and 7 meta-analyses. It is often overlooked due to administrative complexities and lack of funding. DynamiCare Health is a multi-service platform, combining software, hardware, and service. It is an innovative technology platform that has automated Contingency Management to support smoking cessation, removing administrative barriers. The DynamiCare app rewards participants for their negative substance and smoking tests to incentivize abstinence and retention in treatment. The app also incentives appointment attendance, using GPS tracking via smartphone. Smoking status is monitored using a pocket-sized carbon monoxide (CO) smokerlyzer.
BrightView and DynamiCare have partnered with Interact for Health to fund and implement a Smartphone Contingency Management Intervention, which seeks to reduce tobacco disparities for low-income adults by providing a successfully tested, evidence-based, innovative digital platform for the treatment of nicotine dependence in participants with substance use disorder. Tobacco abstinence rates will be compared pre- and post- intervention, as well as to the to the national rate quoted in the literature, which is between 7-12%. The goal of the study is to improve abstinence rates to 18%-20%. As a secondary outcome, substance test results will also be evaluated to determine if this smoking cessation intervention had any effect on other substance use behavior.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Smartphone Contingency Management Arm
100 participants will be voluntarily recruited at BrightView's Colerain outpatient treatment center to participate in the Smartphone Contingency Management Intervention.
Smartphone Contingency Management Intervention
Participants will provide baseline data on their recent substance use and smoking habits/severity. Participants will 1) download the DynamiCare Rewards app, and 2) receive a Carbon Monoxide breath testing device (iCO™ Smokerlyzer®) and reloadable debit card for receiving financial incentives. Participants will follow instructions on the app to take breath tests and receive incentives if the carbon monoxide breath result is less than 6 ppm (Cessation mode) or lower than 3 of the last 4 tests (Shaping mode). The app will use GPS to track if patients have attended their scheduled BrightView appointments (GPS is not used at any other time) and reward them for all kept appointments. The participant will also be able to view Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) modules on the app and receive incentives upon completing each module. At all times, the participant retains the right to choose whether to use and when to use the app, device, and funds for a total period of 4 months.
