Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the trial is to test the adjunctive effect of adding a lapse management system to a best practices web- and mobile smoking cessation program.


Clinical Trial Description

Background: Web- and mobile phone health behavior change interventions, including smoking cessation programs, offer great promise, but little is known about the components that may add to their effect. Objectives: To assess tobacco abstinence associated with an adjunctive lapse management system combined with a best-practices web- and mobilephone based smoking cessation intervention. The investigators hypothesize that a program that includes the lapse management system will yield greater efficacy than a program that does not include such a component. Methods: The investigators propose a 3-arm RCT with 1500 adult study participants that all receive a best practices web-based smoking cessation program designed for use on snart phones (web-app). Participants are randomized to either the web-app only, the web-app plus a web-based lapse management system, or web-app plus a SMS-based lapse management system. The lapse management system will be based on the day-to-day logging of target behavior and providing just-in-time therapy to clients reporting a lapse. In the two versions of the lapse management system the logging of target behavior is done by asking a question about smoking status by web or SMS. Measures: The primary outcome is 7-day point prevalence tobacco abstinence (as assessed at the 1- and 6-months follow-up). Potential predictors, moderators, and mediators of abstinence will also be examined. Benefits: This protocol describes the first RCT that assesses the incremental efficacy of adding a lapse management system to an online smoking cessation intervention. These interventions constitute a cost-effective means to reach smokers who want to quit. By seeking to identify beneficial adjunctive mechanisms, their efficacy may be improved, which can make a substantial public health impact. ;
