Detailed Description

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

Aim 1 will use small focus groups and feedback sessions (n = 4-6) to gain insight into the acceptability and usability of Re-Connect. Up to 3 single-case design studies (n = 4/round) will then be conducted to get more extended use of the app in a real world context to get additional information about usability and acceptability of the app. Aim 2 will involve a 2-group (AC vs SC), pilot randomized control trial to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of Re-Connect.

OTHER

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants

Participants will be told how they can earn back access to their applications but they will not be told whether this is considered the active or control condition.

Study Groups

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

Abstinent Contingent (AC) Re-Connect

Participants in this group will be able to unblock highly desired, but non-essential (e.g., social networking, shopping, games) applications contingent on meeting goals for smoking abstinence, as verified by meeting carbon monoxide goals (CO\<=6ppm).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Abstinent Contingent (AC) Re-Connect

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants in this group will be able to unblock highly desired, but non-essential (e.g., social networking, shopping, games) applications contingent on meeting goals for smoking abstinence, as verified by meeting carbon monoxide goals (CO\<=6ppm).

Submission Contingent (SC) Re-Connect

Participants in this group will also be able to unblock their applications, but contingent on submitting CO samples and independent of meeting CO goals for smoking abstinence.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Submission Contingent (SC) Re-Connect

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants in this group will also be able to unblock their applications, but contingent on submitting CO samples and independent of meeting CO goals for smoking abstinence.
