Re-Connect Application for Smoking Cessation

This study is testing a smartphone application called Re-Connect to help people quit smoking. It explores if linking access to certain apps (like social media or games) to meeting smoking abstinence goals can help people quit. You might be able to join if you smoke at least 10 cigarettes daily for two years, are 18 or older, don't have serious health issues that would interfere with the study, and strongly want to quit. The study will measure how easy Re-Connect is to use and how well it helps people quit smoking over 6 months. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This study involves focus groups and single-case studies, followed by a pilot randomized controlled trial with two groups (Abstinent Contingent Re-Connect vs. Submission Contingent Re-Connect) and plans to enroll 82 participants.
What's involved
Participants will use the Re-Connect app and provide carbon monoxide samples to verify smoking abstinence for up to 12 weeks.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for up to 6 months to assess Re-Connect use and duration.

What this trial measures

  • System Usability Surveythrough study completion, up to 12-weeks

    A survey that participants in Aim 1 usability testing will complete after testing out the Re-Connect application. Focus and feedback group participants, as well as single-case design participants, will complete this survey and a score of 75 or higher will be required before moving to the RCT in Aim 2.

  • Reconnect use (RCT, Aim 2)6-months

    Over the 6-month observation period we will track the how much and to what extent participants use Re-Connect and continue to submit CO samples.

  • Duration of Re-Connect Use (RCT, Aim 2)6-months

    Over the 6-month study we will track how long participants are engaged with using Re-Connect.

  • Acceptability (RCT, Aim 2)6-months

    At three time points we will have the participants complete a Treatment Acceptability Questionnaire to provide quantitative and qualitative feedback on their experience with using Re-Connect.

  • Percent negative carbon monoxide samples6-months

    We will compare the percentage of CO samples that meet the abstinence goals during the 6-month study.

  • 7-day point prevalence of self-reported, and CO verified, smoking6-months

    Participants will provide self-reports and a CO sample to confirm smoking status throughout the 6-month study.
