Automated Mobile Contingency Management for Smoking Cessation: A Pilot RCT (SCC PREVAILgo)

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Smoking Cessation

In brief

The purpose of the proposed project is to pilot test an automated mobile phone-based contingency management (CM) approach to tobacco (smoking) cessation. With the assistance of the Mobile Health (mHealth) shared resource at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) and Stephenson Cancer Center (SCC), the investigators have combined technologies including 1) low-cost carbon monoxide monitors that connect with mobile phones to remotely verify smoking abstinence, 2) facial recognition software to confirm the identity of participants while they provide a breath sample, and 3) remote delivery of incentives automatically triggered by biochemical confirmation of self-reported smoking abstinence. This automated, mobile CM approach will be evaluated in a randomized controlled pilot trial of 40 socioeconomically disadvantaged males and females seeking smoking cessation treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to telephone counseling plus nicotine replacement therapy (standard care \[SC\]) or SC plus a 12-week mobile financial incentives intervention (CM) for biochemically-confirmed abstinence. Participants will be followed for 12 weeks after a scheduled quit attempt to assess smoking status.
