Summary

This series of studies will explore the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of making access to smartphone applications contingent on objective evidence of smoking abstinence.

Detailed description

Aim 1 will use small focus groups and feedback sessions (n = 4-6) to gain insight into the acceptability and usability of Re-Connect. Up to 3 single-case design studies (n = 4/round) will then be conducted to get more extended use of the app in a real world context to get additional information about usability and acceptability of the app. Aim 2 will involve a 2-group (AC vs SC), pilot randomized control trial to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of Re-Connect.

Conditions

• Smoking Cessation
• Acceptability of Health Care
• Nicotine Dependence, Cigarettes

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Abstinent Contingent (AC) Re-Connect	Participants in this group will be able to unblock highly desired, but non-essential (e.g., social networking, shopping, games) applications contingent on meeting goals for smoking abstinence, as verified by meeting carbon monoxide goals (CO\<=6ppm).
BEHAVIORAL	Submission Contingent (SC) Re-Connect	Participants in this group will also be able to unblock their applications, but contingent on submitting CO samples and independent of meeting CO goals for smoking abstinence.
