Brief Summary

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

The development of mobile applications ("mobile apps") is steadily increasing and appears to be a promising treatment method to help people change unwanted behaviors or maintain a regular relationship with the medical system. Mobile apps aimed at smoking cessation have been shown to be effective. However, if a treatment is not used regularly, it will not have the desired effect. The main objective of this study is to identify what makes a person decide to use a smoking cessation app and to do so regularly. The second objective is to determine what is necessary to achieve long-term change with a mobile app.

Detailed Description

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

Despite the significant decrease in tobacco consumption in France (30% in 2000 vs. 25.4% in 2018), the prevalence of smokers aged 18 to 75 years is still a public issue. Among the new solutions proposed, mobile applications ("mobile apps") seem to be a promising treatment modality. Several advantages to their use are recognized for patients, health professionals and the health system itself. Mobile applications allow accessibility to care and information, the possibility of transposing several proven effective therapeutic principles, the possibility of integrating certain forms of information transmission such as messaging, behavioural feedback and audiovisual media.

Although mobile app development is a growing market, knowledge about the determinants of intention to use this type of technology is very limited, especially for smoking cessation apps. The investigators propose a theoretical model to examine what determines the regular use of mobile apps for smoking cessation among those who want to quit. The investigators use the TAMII model and the operational variables used in a more general study on e-health applications. A chronological organisation based on a three-part behavioural model (antecedent, target behaviour and outcome) is added to the TAMII model. The main objective is to identify the factors of Mobila App Sustain Use (MASU). All definitions of TAM-II will be used : perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU) and social norm (SN), as well as the definitions proposed by Choi et al (2014) on the predictors of PU, PEOU and SN.
