Study Groups

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

Mindfulness

Participants will receive brief counseling, nicotine replacement therapy, and intervention content delivered via the app.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mindfulness

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will complete 4 counseling sessions (30 minutes), download and use a smartphone app for 4 weeks, complete 4 online surveys (baseline, quit date, end of treatment, and 3-month follow-up), and a brief phone call at the end of treatment to provide feedback. Participants will use the app every day to complete daily diaries and ecological momentary assessments (EMAs), receive brief mindful skills, and practice formal mindfulness meditations (5-30 minutes). Participants will also be provided with nicotine patches.

Quitline

Participants will be referred to Quitline to receive standard care for smoking cessation.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Quitline

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will be referred to Quitline to receive standard care smoking cessation treatment, including counseling and nicotine patches. Participants will complete 4 online surveys (baseline, quit date, end of treatment, and 3-month follow-up) and a brief phone call at the end of treatment to provide feedback. Participants will use the app every day to complete daily diaries.
