Clinical Trial Summary

This study is comparing the efficacy of two smoking cessation apps.

Description:

Given that tobacco smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the US, the development of effective cessation programs is critical; mobile phone applications represent a novel, accessible platform for helping smokers quit. This research project seeks to compare the efficacy of two smoking cessation apps. In a blinded, randomized, controlled study, current smokers motivated to quit will use a smoking cessation app for 8 weeks.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	30-Day Sustained Abstinence From Smoking	Self-reported abstinence from smoking was assessed in the 8-Week Outcome Survey.	Upon completion of 8-week period
Secondary	Feasibility of Biochemical Verification of Smoking Cessation	Confirmation with the remote CO assessment was conducted to assess concordance between self-report and remote CO assessment results. Abstinence as per the CO assessment was defined as an iCO reading of fewer than 7ppm exhaled CO.	Upon completion of 8-week period
Secondary	NRT and Smoking Cessation Pharmacotherapy Use	Self-reported NRT and smoking cessation pharmacotherapy use will be acquired via the outcome survey. Cessation rates will be compared between those using/not using pharmacotherapy.	Upon completion of 8-week period
