Clinical Trial Summary

The intervention will be use of a smartphone app to support tobacco cessation. The app's main features include sending motivational messages, displaying money saved, and allowing the user to log cravings.


Clinical Trial Description

The investigators will recruit hospitalized young adult smokers aged 18-30 interested in cessation over a six-month period. Patients will all receive a UPMC Tobacco Treatment Service counseling session focused on motivational interviewing prior to participation in the study. Upon consent, participants will then be randomized 1:1 to either standard patient-initiated follow-up or use of the Kwit app. Participants will be stratified by sex because males and females are known to have highly variable responses to existing tobacco control interventions. Investigators will systematically assess feasibility using established Likert-type items factors such as interaction, features, engagement, trust, and impact. If a participant consents to the study, they will be given a brief survey to collect general information related to their smoking behavior. After 30 days, a follow-up survey will be conducted to assess their current smoking behavior. Participants randomized to the experimental arm will be asked additional questions about their use of the smartphone app. ;
